Man's only true happiness is to live in hope of something to be won by him. Reverence something to be worshipped by him, and love something to be cherished by him, forever.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

You may either win your peace or buy it: win it, by resistance to evil; buy it, by compromise with evil.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

John Ruskin 780 quotes

In order that people may be h...

In order that people may be happy in their work, these three things are needed: They must be fit for it. They must not do too much of it. And they must have a sense of success in it.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

It is impossible, as impossib...

It is impossible, as impossible as to raise the dead, to restore anything that has ever been great or beautiful in architecture. That which I have insisted upon as the life of the whole, that spirit which is given only by the hand and eye of the workman, can never be recalled.

A book worth reading is worth buying.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

Beauty deprived of its proper foils and adjuncts ceases to be enjoyed as beauty, just as light deprived of all shadows ceases to be enjoyed as light.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

The art which we may call generally art of the wayside, as opposed to that which is the business of men's lives, is, in the best sense of the word, Grotesque.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

You might sooner get lightning out of incense smoke than true action or passion out of your modern English religion.

The child who desires education will be bettered by it; the child who dislikes it disgraced.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

There is never vulgarity in a whole truth, however commonplace. It may be unimportant or painful. It cannot be vulgar. Vulgarity is only in concealment of truth, or in affectation.

Men cannot not live by exchanging articles, but producing them. They live by work not trade.
