In one point of view, Gothic ...

In one point of view, Gothic is not only the best, but the only rational architecture, as being that which can fit itself most easily to all services, vulgar or noble.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

You may assuredly find perfec...

You may assuredly find perfect peace, if you are resolved to do that which your Lord has plainly required--and content that He should indeed require no more of you--than to do justice, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with Him.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

Painting with all its technic...

Painting with all its technicalities, difficulties, and peculiar ends, is nothing but a noble and expressive language, invaluable as the vehicle of thought, but by itself nothing.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

Every human action gains in h...

Every human action gains in honor, in grace, in all true magnificence, by its regard to things that are to come. It is the far sight, the quiet and confident patience, that, above all other attributes, separate man from man, and near him to his Maker; and there is no action nor art, whose majesty we may not measure by this test.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

In general, when the imaginat...

In general, when the imagination is at all noble, it is irresistible, and therefore those who can at all resist it ought to resist it. Be a plain topographer if you possibly can; if Nature meant you to be anything else, she will force you to it; but never try to be a prophet.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

In mortals there is a care fo...

In mortals there is a care for trifles which proceeds from love and conscience, and is most holy; and a care for trifles which comes of idleness and frivolity, and is most base. And so, also, there is a gravity proceeding from thought, which is most noble; and a gravity proceeding from dulness and mere incapability of enjoyment, which is most base.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

This is the true nature of home - it is the place of Peace; the shelter, not only from all injury, but from all terror, doubt, and division.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

In all things that live there...

In all things that live there are certain irregularities, and deficiencies which are not only signs of life, but sources of beauty. No human face is exactly the same in its lines on each side, no leaf perfect in its lobes, no branch in its symmetry.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

Nature is always mysterious a...

Nature is always mysterious and secret in her use of means; and art is always likest her when it is most inexplicable.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

We are, after all, only trust...

We are, after all, only trustees of the wealth we possess. Without the community and its resources... there would be little wealth for anyone.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

He is the greatest artist who ...

He is the greatest artist who has embodied, in the sum of his works, the greatest number of the greatest ideas.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

Modern travelling is not trave...

Modern travelling is not travelling at all; it is merely being sent to a place, and very little different from becoming a parcel.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

Better the rudest work that te...

Better the rudest work that tells a story or records a fact, than the richest without meaning.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

Men were not intended to work ...

Men were not intended to work with the accuracy of tools, to be precise and perfect in all their actions.

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.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

In order that people may be ha...

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

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

John Ruskin 780 quotes

The greatest thing a human soul ever does in this world... to see clearly is poetry, prophecy and religion all in one.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

To see clearly is poetry, prophecy and religion all in one.

It is written on the arched sky it looks out from every star. It is the poetry of Nature it is that which uplifts the spirit within us.
