More quotes by John Ruskin
In painting as in eloquence, the greater your strength, the quieter your manner.
Life without industry is guilt, and industry without art is brutality.
He who has the truth at his heart need never fear the want of persuasion on his tongue.

Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind,
And therefore is wing'd Cupid painted blind.
To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already three parts dead.
Not for the body, but for the heart; companion and company are needed.
Love seldom haunts the breast where learning lies,
And Venus sets ere Mercury can rise.
