More quotes by John Lubbock

John Lubbock
The idle man does not know what it is to enjoy rest, for he has not earned it.
John Lubbock
Our own happiness ought not to be our main objective in life.
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

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

John Lubbock

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
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
What we see depends mainly on what we look for.
John Lubbock
If you have the least doubt about it, do not marry.
John Lubbock
Rest is by no means a waste of time.
John Lubbock
