When we build ... let it not be for present delights nor for present use alone. Let it be such work as our descendants will thank us for, and let us think ... that a time is to come when these stones will be held sacred because our hands have touched them, and that men will say as they look upon the labor, and the wrought substance of them, See! This our fathers did for us!

John Ruskin 780 quotes

God intends no man to live in ...

God intends no man to live in this world without working, but it seems to me no less evident that He intends every man to be happy in his work.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

When we build, let us think th...

When we build, let us think that we build forever. Let it not be for present delight nor for our use alone. Let it be such work as our descendants will look upon with praise and thanksgiving in their hearts.

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

The best work never was and never will be done for money.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

Trust thou thy Love: if she be proud, is she not sweet?
Trust thou thy love: if she be mute, is she not pure?
Lay thou thy soul full in her hands, low at her feet-
Fail, Sun and Breath!-yet, for thy peace, she shall endure.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

In the range of inorganic nature. I doubt if any object can be found more perfectly beautiful than a fresh, deep snowdrift, seen under warm light.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

Not without design does God write the music of our lives. Be it ours to learn the time, and not be discouraged at the rests. If we say sadly to ourselves, 'There is no music in a rest,' let us not forget ' there is the making of music in it.' The making of music is often a slow and painful process in this life. How patiently God works to teach us! How long He waits for us to learn the lesson!

John Ruskin 780 quotes

You were made for enjoyment, and the world was filled with things which you will enjoy, unless you are too proud to be pleased with them, or too grasping to care for what you can not turn to other account than mere delight.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

Death is not a journey into an unknown land; it is a voyage home. We are going, not to a strange country, but to our fathers house.

The secret of language is the secret of sympathy, and its full charm is possible only to the gentle

John Ruskin 780 quotes

Without seeking, truth cannot ...

Without seeking, truth cannot be known at all. It can neither be declared from pulpits, nor set down in articles, nor in any wise prepared and sold in packages ready for use. Truth must be ground for every man by itself out of it such, with such help as he can get, indeed, but not without stern labor of his own.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

One of the prevailing sources ...

One of the prevailing sources of misery and crime is in the generally accepted assumption, that because things have been wrong a long time, it is impossible they will ever be right.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

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

John Ruskin 780 quotes

I fear uniformity. You cannot manufacture great men any more than you can manufacture gold.

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

John Ruskin 780 quotes

I had no companions to quarrel...

I had no companions to quarrel with, nobody to assist, and nobody to thank... the evil consequence of all this was not, however, what might perhaps have been expected, that I grew up selfish or non affectionate; but that, when affection did come, it came with a violence utterly rampant and unmanageable.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

What right have you to take th...

What right have you to take the word wealth, which originally meant well-being, and degrade and narrow it by confining it to certain sorts of material objects measured by money.

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.

If a book is worth reading, it is worth buying.
