John Lubbock
It always seems to be raining harder than it really is when you look at the weather through the window.
John Lubbock

Even inanimate Nature seems to feel the spell, and flowers glow with the richest colours.
John Lubbock

John Lubbock

John Lubbock
Rest is by no means a waste of time.
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
Your character will be what you yourself choose to make 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
Before buying anything, it is well to ask if one could do without it.
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
Happiness is a condition of mind not a result of circumstances.
John Lubbock
