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.
From John Lubbock
What we see depends mainly on what we look for.
The important thing is not so much that every child should be taught, as that every child should be given the wish to learn.
A wise system of education will at last teach us how little man yet knows, how much he has still to learn.
Happiness is a thing to be practiced, like the violin.
Sunsets are so beautiful that they almost seem as if we were looking through the gates of Heaven.
A day of worry is more exhausting than a week of work.
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.
We often hear of people breaking down from overwork, but in nine out of ten they are really suffering from worry or anxiety.
Our duty is to believe that for which we have sufficient evidence, and to suspend our judgment when we have not.
