Every great man is always being helped by everybody, for his gift is to get good out of all things and all persons.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

All you have really to do is ...

All you have really to do is to keep your back as straight as you can; and not think about what is upon it. The real and essential meaning of "virtue" is that straightness of back.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

Anything which elevates the mind is sublime. Greatness of matter, space, power, virtue or beauty, are all sublime.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

Say all you have to say in th...

John Ruskin 780 quotes

In order that a man may be happy, it is necessary that he should not only be capable of his work, but a good judge of his work.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

John Ruskin 780 quotes

The only absolutely and unapp...

The only absolutely and unapproachably heroic element in the soldier's work seems to be-that he is paid little for it-and regularly.

It is strange that of all the pieces of the Bible which my mother taught me, that which cost me the most to learn, and which was to my childish mind the most repulsive - Psalm 119 - has now become of all the most precious to me in its overflowing and glorious passion of love for the Law of God.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

I am far more provoked at being thought foolish by foolish people, than pleased at being thought sensible by sensible people; and the average proportion of the numbers of each is not to my advantage.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

Men have commonly more pleasure in the criticism which hurts than in that which is innocuous, and are more tolerant of the severity which breaks hearts and ruins fortunes than of that which falls impotently on the grave.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

If you want to work for the k...

If you want to work for the kingdom of God, and to bring it, and enter into it, there is just one condition to be first accepted. You must enter into it as children, or not at all.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

No girl who is well bred, 'ki...

When God shuts a door, He opens a window.

Imperfection is in some sort essential to all that we know in life.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

A little group of wise hearts is better than a wilderness full of fools.

That man is always happy who is in the presence of something which he cannot know to the full, which he is always going on to know.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

It is a strange thing how little in general people know about the sky. It is the part of creation in which nature has done more for the sake of pleasing man.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

No good work whatever can be ...

No good work whatever can be perfect, and the demand for perfection is always a sign of a misunderstanding of the ends of art.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

To speak and act truth with c...

To speak and act truth with constancy and precision is nearly as difficult, and perhaps as meretorious, as to speak it under intimidation or penalty

Bread of flour is good; but there is bread, sweet as honey, if we would eat it, in a good book.
