John Lubbock
A man who is not a good friend to himself cannot be so to any one else.
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
We must not sit still and look for miracles up and doing, and the Lord will be with thee.
John Lubbock
A pleasure is full grown only when it is remembered. C. S. LEWIS, Out of the Silent Planet True pleasures are paid for in advance false pleasures afterwards, with heavy and compound interest.
John Lubbock
