More quotes by John Lubbock
However vexed you may be overnight, things will often look very different in the morning.
John Lubbock
Endurance is a much better test of character than any single act of heroism, however noble.
John Lubbock
We must be careful what we read, and not, like the sailors of Ulysses, take bags of wind for sacks of treasure.
John Lubbock
Our duty is to believe that for which we have sufficient evidence, and to suspend our judgment when we have not.
John Lubbock
Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass under trees on a summer's day, listening to the murmur of the water, or watching the clouds float across the sky, is by no means a waste of time.
John Lubbock
Your character will be what you yourself choose to make it.
John Lubbock
It is sad, indeed, to see how man wastes his opportunities. How many could be made happy, with the blessings which are recklessly wasted or thrown away.
John Lubbock

John Lubbock
Rest is by no means a waste of time.
John Lubbock
Happiness is a condition of mind not a result of circumstances.
John Lubbock
All those who love Nature she loves in return, and will richly reward, not perhaps with the good things, as they are commonly called, but with the best things of this world-not with money and titles, horses and carriages, but with bright and happy thoughts, contentment and peace of mind.
John Lubbock
Do not lay things too much to heart. No one is ever really beaten unless he is discouraged.
John Lubbock
A wise system of education will at last teach us how little man yet knows, how much he has still to learn.
John Lubbock
Men are more helped by sympathy than by service.
John Lubbock
Everyone must have felt that a cheerful friend is like a sunny day, which sheds its brightness on all around and most of us can, as we choose, make of this world either a palace or a prison.
John Lubbock
A man who is not a good friend to himself cannot be so to any one else.
John Lubbock
It would be a great thing if people could be brought to realize that they can never add to the sum of their happiness by doing wrong.
John Lubbock
Try to realize all the blessings you have, and you will find perhaps that they are more than you suppose.
John Lubbock
Our own happiness ought not to be our main objective in life.
John Lubbock
A poor woman from Manchester, on being taken to the seaside, is said to have expressed her delight on seeing for the first time something of which there was enough for everybody.
John Lubbock
