More quotes by John Lubbock
A crowd is not necessarily company, but neither need it necessarily prevent thought or disturb peace of mind.
John Lubbock
Time is a trust, and for every minute of it you will have to account.
John Lubbock
Do not lay things too much to heart. No one is ever really beaten unless he is discouraged.
John Lubbock
However vexed you may be overnight, things will often look very different in the morning.
John Lubbock
Happiness is a condition of mind not a result of circumstances.
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
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
There are temptations which strong exercise best enables us to resist
John Lubbock
Our duty is to believe that for which we have sufficient evidence, and to suspend our judgment when we have not.
John Lubbock

John Lubbock
False pleasures come from without and are imperfect: happiness is internal and our own.
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
Exercise of the muscles keeps the body in health, and exercise of the brain brings peace of mind.
John Lubbock
Rest is by no means a waste of time.
John Lubbock
Though it is a great mistake to make friends of the wicked and foolish, it is unwise to make enemies of them, for they are very numerous.
John Lubbock
Many of the greatest men have owed their success to industry rather than to cleverness.
John Lubbock
