More quotes by John Lubbock
What we see depends mainly on what we look for.
John Lubbock
Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass under trees on a summer's day, listening to the murmur of the water, or watching the clouds float across the sky, is by no means a waste of time.
John Lubbock
There are temptations which strong exercise best enables us to resist
John Lubbock
A man who is not a good friend to himself cannot be so to any one else.
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.
John Lubbock
Everyone must have felt that a cheerful friend is like a sunny day, which sheds its brightness on all around and most of us can, as we choose, make of this world either a palace or a prison.
John Lubbock
A crowd is not necessarily company, but neither need it necessarily prevent thought or disturb peace of mind.
John Lubbock
Happiness is a condition of mind not a result of circumstances.
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
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
We may sit in our library and yet be in all quarters of the earth.
John Lubbock
Endurance is a much better test of character than any single act of heroism, however noble.
John Lubbock
It always seems to be raining harder than it really is when you look at the weather through the window.
John Lubbock
A day of worry is more exhausting than a week of work.
John Lubbock
Rest is by no means a waste of time.
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
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
A wise system of education will at last teach us how little man yet knows, how much he has still 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
We must be careful what we read, and not, like the sailors of Ulysses, take bags of wind for sacks of treasure.
John Lubbock
