More quotes by 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
We must not sit still and look for miracles up and doing, and the Lord will be with thee.
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
What we see depends mainly on what we look for.
John Lubbock
Time is a trust, and for every minute of it you will have to account.
John Lubbock
However vexed you may be overnight, things will often look very different in the morning.
John Lubbock
Exercise of the muscles keeps the body in health, and exercise of the brain brings peace of mind.
John Lubbock
The idle man does not know what it is to enjoy rest, for he has not earned it.
John Lubbock
Rest is by no means a waste of time.
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
Many of the greatest men have owed their success to industry rather than to cleverness.
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
Happiness is a condition of mind not a result of circumstances.
John Lubbock
A crowd is not necessarily company, but neither need it necessarily prevent thought or disturb peace of mind.
John Lubbock
The important thing is not so much that every child should be taught, as that every child should be given the wish to learn.
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
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
Try to realize all the blessings you have, and you will find perhaps that they are more than you suppose.
John Lubbock
There are temptations which strong exercise best enables us to resist
John Lubbock
It always seems to be raining harder than it really is when you look at the weather through the window.
John Lubbock
