More quotes by John Lubbock

John Lubbock
What we see depends mainly on what we look for.
John Lubbock

John Lubbock
Men are more helped by sympathy than by service.
John Lubbock
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
A man who is not a good friend to himself cannot be so to any one else.
John Lubbock
However vexed you may be overnight, things will often look very different in the morning.
John Lubbock
Our own happiness ought not to be our main objective in life.
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
