Exercise of the muscles keeps the body in health, and exercise of the brain brings peace of mind.
John Lubbock
Image
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
Image

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.

All those who love Nature she loves in return, and will richly reward, not perhaps with the good things, as they are commonly called, but with the best things of this world-not with money and titles, horses and carriages, but with bright and happy thoughts, contentment and peace of mind.
John Lubbock
Image
Art trains the mind through the eye, and the eye through the mind. As the sun colors flowers, so does art color life.
John Lubbock

John Lubbock
Image
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
Image
A crowd is not necessarily company, but neither need it necessarily prevent thought or disturb peace of mind.
John Lubbock
Image
Time is a trust, and for every minute of it you will have to account.
John Lubbock
Image
The idle man does not know what it is to enjoy rest, for he has not earned it.
John Lubbock
Image
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.
John Lubbock
Image
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
Image
Many of the greatest men have owed their success to industry rather than to cleverness.
