The great cry that rises from...

The great cry that rises from all our manufacturing cities, louder than the furnace blast, is all in very deed for this -- that we manufacture everything there except men.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

You will find that the mere r...

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

When we build, let us think t...

When we build, let us think that we build forever.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

The Training which Makes Men ...

The Training which Makes Men Happiest in themselves ... also Makes Them Most Serviceable to Others

John Ruskin 780 quotes

Mountains are to the rest of ...

Mountains are to the rest of the body of the earth, what violent muscular action is to the body of man. The muscles and tendons of its anatomy are, in the mountain, brought out with force and convulsive energy, full of expression, passion, and strength.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

But if, indeed, there be a no...

But if, indeed, there be a nobler life in us than in these strangely moving atoms; if, indeed, there is an eternal difference between the fire which inhabits them, and that which animates us,--it must be shown, by each of us in his appointed place, not merely in the patience, but in the activity of our hope, not merely by our desire, but our labor, for the time when the dust of the generations of men shall be confirmed for foundations of the gates of the city of God.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

Life without industry is guil...

Life without industry is guilt, and industry without art is brutality.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

Shadows are in reality, when ...

Shadows are in reality, when the sun is shining, the most conspicuous thing in a landscape, next to the highest lights.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

The plea of ignorance will ne...

The plea of ignorance will never take away our responsibilities.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

Whenever you see want or mise...

Whenever you see want or misery or degradation in this world about you, then be sure either industry has been wanting, or industry has been in error.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

The very cheapness of literat...

The very cheapness of literature is making even wise people forget that if a book is worth reading, it is worth buying. No book is worth anything which is not worth much; nor is it serviceable, until it has been read, and re-read, and loved, and loved again; and marked, so that you can refer to the passages you want in it.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

Ship of the line is the most ...

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

John Ruskin 780 quotes

The greatest reward is not wh...

The greatest reward is not what we receive for our labor, but what we become by it.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

There is in every animal's ey...

There is in every animal's eye a dim image and gleam of humanity, a flash of strange light through which their life looks out and up to our great mystery of command over them, and claims the fellowship of the creature if not of the soul.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

Give me some mud off a city c...

Give me some mud off a city crossing, some ochre out of a gravel pit and a little whitening and some coal dust and I will paint you a luminous picture if you give me time to gradate my mud and subdue my dust.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

I would rather teach drawing ...

I would rather teach drawing that my pupils may learn to love nature, than teach the looking at nature that they may learn to draw.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

The only way to understand th...

The only way to understand these difficult parts of the Bible, or even to approach them with safety, is first to read and obey the easy ones.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

Wherever the human mind is he...

Wherever the human mind is healthy and vigorous in all its proportions, great in imagination and emotion no less than in intellect, and not overborne by an undue or hardened pre-eminence of the mere reasoning faculties, there the grotesque will exist in full energy.

John Ruskin 780 quotes

The object of true education ...

The object of true education is to make people not merely do the right things, but enjoy them

John Ruskin 780 quotes

Being thus prepared for us in...

Being thus prepared for us in all ways, and made beautiful, and good for food, and for building, and for instruments of our hands, this race of plants, deserving boundless affection and admiration from us, becomes, in proportion to their obtaining it, a nearly perfect test of our being in right temper of mind and way of life; so that no one can be far wrong in either who loves trees enough, and everyone is assuredly wrong in both who does not love them, if his life has brought them in his way.
