More quotes by John Lubbock
Before buying anything, it is well to ask if one could do without it.
John Lubbock
A day of worry is more exhausting than a week of work.
John Lubbock
A crowd is not necessarily company, but neither need it necessarily prevent thought or disturb 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
Exercise of the muscles keeps the body in health, and exercise of the brain brings peace of mind.
John Lubbock
Your character will be what you yourself choose to make it.
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
However vexed you may be overnight, things will often look very different in the morning.
John Lubbock
The idle man does not know what it is to enjoy rest, for he has not earned it.
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
If you have the least doubt about it, do not marry.
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
False pleasures come from without and are imperfect: happiness is internal and our own.
John Lubbock
A wise system of education will at last teach us how little man yet knows, how much he has still to learn.
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
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
Try to realize all the blessings you have, and you will find perhaps that they are more than you suppose.
John Lubbock
It always seems to be raining harder than it really is when you look at the weather through the window.
John Lubbock
Rest is by no means a waste of time.
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
