More quotes by John Lubbock
Rest is by no means a waste of time.
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
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
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
We must not sit still and look for miracles up and doing, and the Lord will be with thee.
John Lubbock
Happiness is a condition of mind not a result of circumstances.
John Lubbock

John Lubbock
It would be a great thing if people could be brought to realize that they can never add to the sum of their happiness by doing wrong.
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
We must be careful what we read, and not, like the sailors of Ulysses, take bags of wind for sacks of treasure.
John Lubbock
Try to realize all the blessings you have, and you will find perhaps that they are more than you suppose.
John Lubbock
If you have the least doubt about it, do not marry.
John Lubbock
Exercise of the muscles keeps the body in health, and exercise of the brain brings peace of mind.
John Lubbock
Your character will be what you yourself choose to make it.
John Lubbock
