Art trains the mind through the eye, and the eye through the mind. As the sun colors flowers, so does art color life.

More quotes by John Lubbock
We must not sit still and look for miracles up and doing, and the Lord will be with thee.
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
Fresh air is as good for the mind as for the body. Nature always seems trying to talk to us as if she had some great secret to tell. And so she has.
John Lubbock
Do not lay things too much to heart. No one is ever really beaten unless he is discouraged.
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
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
However vexed you may be overnight, things will often look very different in the morning.
John Lubbock
What we see depends mainly on what we look for.
John Lubbock
Great battles are really won before they are actually fought. To control our passions we must govern our habits, and keep watch over ourselves in the small details of everyday life.
John Lubbock
A day of worry is more exhausting than a week of work.
John Lubbock
Time is a trust, and for every minute of it you will have to account.
John Lubbock
False pleasures come from without and are imperfect: happiness is internal and our own.
John Lubbock
Many of the greatest men have owed their success to industry rather than to cleverness.
John Lubbock
Try to realize all the blessings you have, and you will find perhaps that they are more than you suppose.
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
It always seems to be raining harder than it really is when you look at the weather through the window.
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
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.
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
If you have the least doubt about it, do not marry.
John Lubbock
