We require from buildings two kinds of goodness: first, the doing their practical duty well: then that they be graceful and pleasing in doing it.

The wisest men are wise to the full in death.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

No nation can last which has made a mob of itself, however generous at heart.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

Better a child should be ignorant of a thousand truths than have consecrated in its heart a single lie.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

Every noble life leaves its fibre interwoven forever in the work of the world.

He who offers God a second place offers Him no place.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

A nation which lives a pastora...

A nation which lives a pastoral and innocent life never decorates the shepherd's staff or the plough-handle; but races who live by depredation and slaughter nearly always bestow exquisite ornaments on the quiver, the helmet, and the spear.

Labor rids us of three great evils; tediousness, vice, and poverty.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

Hope- the recognition, by true foresight, of better things to be reached here after.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

Failure is less attributable to either insufficiency of means or impatience of labours than to a confused understanding of the thing actually to be done.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

I do not mean to call an elephant a vulgar animal, but if you think about him carefully, you will find that his nonvulgarity consists in such gentleness as is possible to elephantine nature-not in his insensitive hide, nor in his clumsy foot, but in the way he will lift his foot if a child lies in his way; and in his sensitive trunk, and still more sensitive mind, and capability of pique on points of honor.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

All traveling becomes dull in exact proportion to its rapidity.

There is no law of history any more than of a kaleidoscope.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

I do not believe that any peac...

I do not believe that any peacock envies another peacock his tail, because every peacock is persuaded that his own tail is the finest in the world. The consequence of this is that peacocks are peaceable birds.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

I will not kill or hurt any living creature needlessly, nor destroy any beautiful thing, but will strive to save and comfort all gentle life, and guard and perfect all natural beauty upon the earth.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

Borrowers are nearly always ill-spenders, and it is with lent money that all evil is mainly done and all unjust war protracted.

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.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

Production does not consist in...

Production does not consist in things laboriously made, but in things serviceably consumable; and the question for the nation is not how much labour it employs, but how much life it produces.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

... no human actions ever were intended by the Maker of men to be guided by balances of expediency, but by balances of justice.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

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.
