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
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
Try to realize all the blessings you have, and you will find perhaps that they are more than you suppose.
John Lubbock
Before buying anything, it is well to ask if one could do without it.
John Lubbock

John Lubbock
