More quotes by John Lubbock
Earth and Sky, Woods and Fields, Lakes and Rivers, the Mountain and the Sea, are excellent schoolmasters, and teach some of us more than we can ever learn from books.

Rest is by no means a waste of time.
John Lubbock

Love seems to beautify and inspire all nature. It raises the earthly caterpillar into the ethereal butterfly, it paints the feathers in spring, it lights the glowworm's lamp, it wakens the song of birds, and inspires the poet's lay. Even inanimate Nature seems to feel the spell, and flowers glow with the richest colours.
John Lubbock

John Lubbock
Our own happiness ought not to be our main objective in life.
John Lubbock
Though it is a great mistake to make friends of the wicked and foolish, it is unwise to make enemies of them, for they are very numerous.
John Lubbock
There are temptations which strong exercise best enables us to resist
John Lubbock
Art trains the mind through the eye, and the eye through the mind. As the sun colors flowers, so does art color life.
John Lubbock
