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

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.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

He who offers God a second pla...

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

John Ruskin 780 quotes

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

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

No nation can last which has m...

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

The wisest men are wise to the full in death.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

Great art is precisely that wh...

Great art is precisely that which never was, nor will be taught, it is preeminently and finally the expression of the spirits of great men.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

The word 'Blue' does not mea...

The word 'Blue' does not mean the sensation caused by a gentian on the human eye; but it means the power of producing that sensation: and this power is always there, in the thing, whether we are there to experience it or not, and would remain there though there were not a man left on the face of the earth.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

Human work must be done honour...

Human work must be done honourably and thoroughly, because we are now Men; whether we ever expect to be angels, or were ever slugs, being practically no matter.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

[For men] to feel their souls ...

[For men] to feel their souls withering within them, unthanked, to find their whole being sunk into an unrecognized abyss, to be counted off into a heap of mechanism numbered with its wheels, and weighed with its hammer strokes - this, nature bade not, - this, God blesses not, - this, humanity for no long time is able to endure.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

The force of the guinea you ha...

The force of the guinea you have in your pocket depends wholly on the default of a guinea in your neighbour's pocket. If he did not want it, it would be of no use to you.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

The greatest efforts of the ra...

The greatest efforts of the race have always been traceable to the love of praise, as the greatest catastrophes to the love of pleasure.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

There is no climate, no place,...

There is no climate, no place, and scarcely an hour, in which nature does not exhibit color which no mortal effort can imitate or approach. For all our artificial pigments are, even when seen under the same circumstances, dead and lightless beside her living color; nature exhibits her hues under an intensity of sunlight which trebles their brilliancy.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

All real and wholesome enjoyme...

All real and wholesome enjoyments possible to people have been just as possible to them since first they were made of the earth as they are now; and they are possible to them chiefly in peace. To watch the corn grow, and the blossoms set; to draw hard breath over plowshare or spade; to read, to think, to love, to hope: these are the things that make people happy.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

We may, without offending any laws of good taste, require of an architect, as we do of a novelist, that he should be not only correct, but entertaining.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

The only absolutely and unappr...

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

John Ruskin 780 quotes

Ship of the line is the most h...

Ship of the line is the most honourable thing that man, as a gregarious animal, has ever produced.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

One of the worst diseases to which the human creature is liable is its disease of thinking.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

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.
