To render ourselves insensible to pain we must forfeit also the possibilities of happiness.
John LubbockWe often hear of people breaking down from overwork, but in nine out of ten they are really suffering from worry or anxiety.
John LubbockLove 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.
