John Lubbock Mind Quotations

Art is unquestionably one of the purest and highest elements in human happiness. It trains the mind through the eye, and the eye through the mind. As the sun colors flowers, so does art color life.

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.

Happiness is a condition of mind not a result of circumstances.

A crowd is not necessarily company, but neither need it necessarily prevent thought or disturb peace of mind.

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.

Exercise of the muscles keeps the body in health, and exercise of the brain brings peace of mind.
