The entire object of true education is to make people not merely do the right things, but enjoy the right things — not merely industrious, but to love industry — not merely learned, but to love knowledge — not merely pure, but to love purity — not merely just, but to hunger and thirst after justice.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

Without mountains the air cou...

Without mountains the air could not be purified, nor the flowing of the rivers sustained.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

The great cry that rises from...

The great cry that rises from our manufacturing cities, louder than their furnace blast, is all in very deed for this, that we manufacture everything there except men; we blanch cotton, and strengthen steel, and refine sugar, and shape pottery; but to brighten, to strengthen, to refine, or to form a single living spirit, never enters into our estimate of advantages.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

In painting as in eloquence, ...

In painting as in eloquence, the greater your strength, the quieter your manner.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

Disorder in a drawing-room is...

Disorder in a drawing-room is vulgar; in an antiquary's study, not; the black battle-stain on a soldier's face is not vulgar, but the dirty face of a housemaid is.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

Whenever I did anything wrong...

Whenever I did anything wrong, stupid or hard-hearted, and I have done many things that were all three, my mother always said "it is because you were too much indulged."

John Ruskin 780 quotes

The man who says to one, go, ...

The man who says to one, go, and he goeth, and to another, come, and he cometh, has, in most cases, more sense of restraint and difficulty than the man who obeys him.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

Greater completion marks the ...

Greater completion marks the progress of art, absolute completion usually its decline.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

Curiosity is a gift, a capaci...

Curiosity is a gift, a capacity of pleasure in knowing, which if you destroy, you make yourself cold and dull.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

Mighty of heart, mighty of mi...

Mighty of heart, mighty of mind, magnanimous-to be this is indeed to be great in life.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

They are the weakest-minded and the hardest-hearted men that most love change.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

The names of great painters a...

The names of great painters are like passing-bells: in the name of Velasquez you hear sounded the fall of Spain; .in the name of Titian, that of Venice; in the name of Leonardo, that of Milan; in the name of Raphael, that of Rome. And there is profound justice in this, for in proportion to the nobleness of the power is the guilt of its use for purposes vain or vile; and hitherto the greater the art, the more surely has it been used, and used solely, for the decoration of pride or the provoking of sensuality.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

Come, ye cold winds, at Janua...

Come, ye cold winds, at January's call, On whistling wings, and with white flakes bestrew The earth.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

No false knight or lying prie...

No false knight or lying priest ever prospered, I believe, in any age, but certainly not in the dark ones. Men prospered then, only in following openly-declared purposes , and preaching candidly beloved and trusted creeds.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

Nearly all our powerful men i...

Nearly all our powerful men in this age of the world are unbelievers; the best of them in doubt and misery; the worst in reckless defiance; the plurality, in plodding hesitation, doing, as well as they can, what practical work lies ready to their hands.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

Every hue throughout your wor...

Every hue throughout your work is altered by every touch you add in other places.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

In the utmost solitudes of nature, the existence of hell seems to me as legibly declared by a thousand spiritual utterances as that of heaven.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

You should read books like you take medicine, by advice, and not by advertisement.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

It is among children only, and as children only, that you will find medicine for your healing and true wisdom for your teaching.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

But I beg you to observe that...

But I beg you to observe that there is a wide difference between being captains or governors of work, and taking the profits of it. It does not follow, because you are general of an army, that you are to take all the treasure, or land, it wins; (if it fight for treasure or land); neither, because you are king of a nation, that you are to consume all the profits of the nation's work.
