Obey something, and you will have a chance to learn what is best to obey. But if you begin by obeying nothing, you will end by obeying the devil and all his invited friends.

Freedom is only granted us that obedience may be more perfect.

Once thoroughly our own knowledge ceases to give us pleasure.

All other passions do occasional good; but when pride puts in its word everything goes wrong.

Flowers seem intended for the solace of ordinary humanity.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

The actual flower is the plant's highest fulfilment, and are not here exclusively for herbaria, county floras and plant geography: they are here first of all for delight.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

Education is the leading human...

Education is the leading human souls to what is best, and making what is best out of them; and these two objects are always attainable together, and by the same means; the training which makes man happiest in themselves also makes them most serviceable to others.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

All things are literally bette...

All things are literally better, lovelier, and more beloved for the imperfections which have been divinely appointed, that the law of human life may be effort, and the law of human judgment, mercy.

He thinks by infection, catching an opinion like a cold.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

Every human action gains in ho...

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

No changing of place at a hund...

No changing of place at a hundred miles an hour will make us one whit stronger, or happier, or wiser. There was always more in the world than man could see, walked they ever so slowly; they will see it no better for going fast. The really precious things are thought and sight, not pace. It does a bullet no good to go fast; and a man, if he be truly a man, no harm to go slow; for his glory is not at all in going, but in being.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

Cookery means English thorough...

Cookery means English thoroughness, French art, and Arabian hospitality; it means the knowledge of all fruits and herbs and balms and spices; it means carefulness, inventiveness, and watchfulness.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

Of all the pulpits from which ...

Of all the pulpits from which human voice is ever sent forth, there is none from which it reaches so far as from the grave.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

The scholar is early acquainted with every department of the impossible.

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

John Ruskin 780 quotes

If the design of the building ...

If the design of the building be originally bad, the only virtue it can ever possess will be signs of antiquity.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

Say all you have to say in the...

Say all you have to say in the fewest possible words, or your reader will be sure to skip them; and in the plainest possible words or he will certainly misunderstand them.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

You will find that the mere resolve not to be useless, and the honest desire to help other people, will, in the quickest and delicatest ways, improve yourself.

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.

We were not sent into this world to do anything into which we cannot put our hearts.
