Ambition
|

|
Our ambition should be to rule ourselves, the true kingdom for each one of us; and true progress is to know more, and be more, and to do more.
-Sir John Lubbock
|
 |
Beauty
|

|
Sunsets are so beautiful that they almost seem as if we were looking through the gates of Heaven.
-Sir John Lubbock
|
 |
Character
|

|
Your character will be what you yourself choose to make it.
-Sir John Lubbock
|
 |
Education
|

|
A wise system of education will at last teach us how little man yet knows, how much he has still to learn.
-Sir John Lubbock
|
 |
Excellence
|

|
When we have done our best, we should wait the result in peace.
-Sir John Lubbock
|
 |
Faith
|

|
Our duty is to believe that for which we have sufficient evidence, and to suspend our judgment when we have not.
-Sir John Lubbock
|
 |
Happiness
|

|
Happiness is a thing to be practiced, like the violin.
-Sir John Lubbock
|
 |
Love
|

|
Don't be afraid of showing affection. Be warm and tender, thoughtful and affectionate. Men are more helped by sympathy than by service. Love is more than money, and a kind word will give more pleasure than a present.
-Sir John Lubbock
|
 |
Motivational
|

|
What we see depends mainly on what we look for.
-Sir John Lubbock
|
 |
Rest, Leisure
|

|
Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass on a summer day listening to the murmur of water, or watching the clouds float across the sky, is hardly a waste of time.
-Sir John Lubbock
|
 |
Restraint
|

|
Before buying anything, it is well to ask if one could do without it.
-Sir John Lubbock
|
 |
Teaching
|

|
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.
-Sir John Lubbock
|
 |
Time
|

|
In truth, people can generally make time for what they choose to do; it is not really the time but the will that is lacking.
-Sir John Lubbock
|
 |
Worry
|

|
We often hear of people breaking down from overwork, but in nine out of ten they are really suffering from worry or anxiety.
-Sir John Lubbock
