When I have been unhappy, I have heard an opera... and it seemed the shrieking of winds; when I am happy, a sparrow’s chirp is delicious to me. But it is not the chirp that makes me happy, but I that make it sweet (John Ruskin Quotes)
A man is born an artist as a hippopotamus is born a hippopotamus; and you can no more make yourself one than you can make yourself a giraffe (John Ruskin Quotes)

People are eternally divided into two classes, the believer, builder, and praiser... and the unbeliever, destroyer and critic (John Ruskin Quotes)
I cannot but think it an evil sign of a people when their houses are built to last for one generation only (John Ruskin Quotes)
No amount of pay ever made a good soldier, a good teacher, a good artist, or a good workman (John Ruskin Quotes)
The virtue of the imagination is its reaching, by intuition and intensity, a more essential truth than is seen at the surface of things (John Ruskin Quotes)
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 Quotes)
The art of drawing which is of more real importance to the human race than that of writing... should be taught to every child just as writing is (John Ruskin Quotes)
The measure of any great civilization is its cities and a measure of a city’s greatness is to be found in the quality of its public spaces, its parks and squares (John Ruskin Quotes)
Science deals exclusively with things as they are in themselves; and art exclusively with things as they affect the human sense and human soul (John Ruskin Quotes)
Science has to do with facts, art with phenomena. To science, phenomena are of use only as they lead to facts; and to art, facts are of use only as they lead to phenomena (John Ruskin Quotes)
Science studies the relations of things to each other: but art studies only their relations to man (John Ruskin Quotes)
It is a good and safe rule to sojourn in every place as if you meant to spend your life there, never omitting an opportunity of doing a kindness, or speaking a true word, or making a friend (John Ruskin Quotes)
Pleasure comes through toil, and not by self indulgence and indolence. When one gets to love work, his life is a happy one (John Ruskin Quotes)
We are only advancing in life, whose hearts are getting softer, our blood warmer, our brains quicker, and our spirits entering into living peace (John Ruskin Quotes)
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 Quotes)
... the weakest among us has a gift, however seemingly trivial, which is peculiar to him, and which, worthily used, will be a gift also to his race forever (John Ruskin Quotes)
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 Quotes)
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 Quotes)
It is impossible, as impossible as to raise the dead, to restore anything that has ever been great or beautiful in architecture. That which I have insisted upon as the life of the whole, that spirit which is given only by the hand and eye of the workman, can never be recalled (John Ruskin Quotes)
Your honesty is not to be based either on religion or policy. Both your religion and policy must be based on it. Your honesty must be based, as the sun is, in vacant heaven; poised, as the lights in the firmament, which have rule over the day and over the night (John Ruskin Quotes)
