John Lubbock
Our own happiness ought not to be our main objective in life.
John Lubbock
A day of worry is more exhausting than a week of work.
John Lubbock
Reading and writing, arithmetic and grammar do not constitute education, any more than a knife, fork and spoon constitute a dinner.
John Lubbock
Rest is by no means a waste of time.
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.
