More quotes by John Lubbock

John Lubbock

John Lubbock
Men are more helped by sympathy than by service.
John Lubbock
The idle man does not know what it is to enjoy rest, for he has not earned it.
John Lubbock
We must be careful what we read, and not, like the sailors of Ulysses, take bags of wind for sacks of treasure.
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
Time is a trust, and for every minute of it you will have to account.
John Lubbock
Happiness is a condition of mind not a result of circumstances.
John Lubbock
