To speak and act truth with co...

To speak and act truth with constancy and precision is nearly as difficult, and perhaps as meretorious, as to speak it under intimidation or penalty

One evening, when I was yet in my nurse's arms, I wanted to touch the tea urn, which was boiling merrily ... My nurse would have taken me away from the urn, but my mother said 'Let him touch it.' So I touched it - and that was my first lesson in the meaning of liberty.

Genius is only a superior power of seeing.

Geology does better in recloth...

Geology does better in reclothing dry bones and revealing lost creations, than in tracing veins of lead and beds of iron; astronomy better in opening to us the houses of heaven than in teaching navigation; surgery better in investigating organiation than in setting limbs; only it is ordained that, for our encouragement, every step we make in science adds something to its practical applicabilities.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

The truth of Nature is a part ...

The truth of Nature is a part of the truth of God; to him who does not search it out, darkness; to him who does, infinity.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

Science is the knowledge of constant things, not merely of passing events, and is properly less the knowledge of general laws than of existing facts.

Science deals exclusively with things as they are in themselves.

That admiration of the 'neat but not gaudy,' which is commonly reported to have influenced the devil when he painted his tail pea green.

In order that a man may be happy, it is necessary that he should not only be capable of his work, but a good judge of his work.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

Men are more evanescent than pictures, yet one sorrows for lost friends, and pictures are my friends. I have none others. I am never long enough with men to attach myself to them; and whatever feelings of attachment I have are to material things.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

Beethoven always sounds to me ...

Beethoven always sounds to me like the upsetting of a bag of nails, with here and there an also dropped hammer.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

I know few Christians so convinced of the splendor of the rooms in their Father's house, as to be happier when their friends are called to those mansions... Nor has the Church's ardent 'desire to depart, and be with Christ,' ever cured it of the singular habit of putting on mourning for every person summoned to such departure.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

Surely our clergy need not be surprised at the daily increasing distrust in the public mind of the efficacy of prayer.

Absolute and entire ugliness is rare.

Architecture is the art which so disposes and adorns the edifices raised by man, that the sight of them may contribute to his mental health, power, and pleasure.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

The beauty of the animal form ...

The beauty of the animal form is in exact proportion to the amount of moral and intellectual virtue expressed by it.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

You cannot hammer a girl into ...

You cannot hammer a girl into anything. She grows as a flower does, she will wither without sun; she will decay in her sheath as a narcissus will if you do not give her air enough; she might fall and defile her head in dust if you leave her without help at some moments in her life; but you cannot fetter her; she must take her own fair form and way if she take any.
