More quotes by John Lubbock
Many of the greatest men have owed their success to industry rather than to cleverness.
John Lubbock
Our own happiness ought not to be our main objective in life.
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
Exercise of the muscles keeps the body in health, and exercise of the brain brings peace of mind.
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
Your character will be what you yourself choose to make it.
John Lubbock
A crowd is not necessarily company, but neither need it necessarily prevent thought or disturb peace of mind.
John Lubbock
Endurance is a much better test of character than any single act of heroism, however noble.
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
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
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
Happiness is a condition of mind not a result of circumstances.
John Lubbock
What we see depends mainly on what we look for.
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
A day of worry is more exhausting than a week of work.
John Lubbock
However vexed you may be overnight, things will often look very different in the morning.
John Lubbock
If you have the least doubt about it, do not marry.
John Lubbock
We may sit in our library and yet be in all quarters of the earth.
John Lubbock
Do not lay things too much to heart. No one is ever really beaten unless he is discouraged.
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
