More quotes by John Lubbock

John Lubbock
If you have the least doubt about it, do not marry.
John Lubbock
Your character will be what you yourself choose to make it.
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
The idle man does not know what it is to enjoy rest, for he has not earned it.
John Lubbock
Earth and Sky, Woods and Fields, Lakes and Rivers, the Mountain and the Sea, are excellent schoolmasters, and teach some of us more than we can ever learn from books.
