More quotes by John Lubbock
There are temptations which strong exercise best enables us to resist

We must not sit still and look for miracles up and doing, and the Lord will be with thee.
John Lubbock
It would be a great thing if people could be brought to realize that they can never add to the sum of their happiness by doing wrong.

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
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
