All are to be men of genius in their degree,--rivulets or rivers, it does not matter, so that the souls be clear and pure; not dead walls encompassing dead heaps of things, known and numbered, but running waters in the sweet wilderness of things unnumbered and unknown, conscious only of the living banks, on which they partly refresh and partly reflect the flowers, and so pass on.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

The truth of Nature is a part...

The truth of Nature is a part of the truth of God; to him who does not search it out, darkness; to him who does, infinity.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

Give an earnest-hearted, devoted girl any true work that will make her active in the dawn, and weary at night, with the consciousness that her fellow-creatures have indeed been the better for her day, and the powerless sorrow of her enthusiasm will transform itself into a majesty of radiant and beneficent peace.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

Value is the life-giving powe...

Value is the life-giving power of anything; cost, the quantity of labour required to produce it; its price, the quantity of labourwhich its possessor will take in exchange for it.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

Science deals exclusively wit...

Science deals exclusively with things as they are in themselves; and art exclusively with things as they affect the human sense and human soul.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

Unless we perform divine serv...

Unless we perform divine service with every willing act of our life, we never perform it at all.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

And remember, child, that not...

And remember, child, that nothing is ever done beautifully, which is done in rivalship; or nobly, which is done in pride.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

Cheerfulness is as natural to...

Cheerfulness is as natural to the heart of a man in strong health as color to his cheek; and wherever there is habitual gloom there must be either bad air, unwholesome food, improperly severe labor, or erring habits of life.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

The common practice of keeping up appearances with society is a mere selfish struggle of the vain with the vain.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

We have much studied and much...

We have much studied and much perfected, of late, the great civilized invention of the division of labour; only we give it a false name. It is not, truly speaking, the labour that is divided; but the men.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

The beauty of the animal form...

The beauty of the animal form is in exact proportion to the amount of moral and intellectual virtue expressed by it.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

It is not, truly speaking, th...

It is not, truly speaking, the labour that is divided; but the men: divided into mere segments of men - broken into small fragments and crumbs of life, so that all the little piece of intelligence that is left in a man is not enough to make a pin, or a nail, but exhausts itself in making the point of a pin or the head of a nail.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

How false is the conception, ...

How false is the conception, how frantic the pursuit, of that treacherous phantom which men call Liberty: most treacherous, indeed, of all phantoms; for the feeblest ray of reason might surely show us, that not only its attainment, but its being, was impossible..... There is no such thing in the universe. There can never be. The stars have it not; the earth has it not; the sea has it not; and we men have the mockery and semblance of it only for our heaviest punishment.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

It is only by labour that tho...

It is only by labour that thought can be made healthy, and only by thought that labour can be made happy, and the two cannot be separated with impunity.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

Many thoughts are so dependen...

Many thoughts are so dependent upon the language in which they are clothed that they would lose half their beauty if otherwise expressed.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

What is really desired, under...

What is really desired, under the name of riches, is essentially, power over men ... this power ... is in direct proportion to the poverty of the men over whom it is exercised, and in inverse proportion to the number of persons who are as rich as ourselves.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

Another of the strange and ev...

Another of the strange and evil tendencies of the present day is the decoration of the railroad station... There was never more flagrant nor impertinent folly than the smallest portion of ornament in anything connected with the railroads... Railroad architecture has or would have a dignity of its own if it were only left to its work.

Dream lofty dreams, and as you dream, so shall you become.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

The beginning and almost the end of all good law is that everyone shall work for their bread and receive good bread for their work.

Conceit may puff a man up, but never prop him up.
