LUBBOCK, Sir John Quotes

Cheerfulness

Every one must have felt that a cheerful friend is like a sunny day, which sheds its brightness on all around; and most of us can, as we choose, make of this world either a palace or a prison.

Happiness

The world would be both better and brighter if we would dwell on the duty of happiness, as well as on the happiness of duty.

Teaching

I cannot think but that the world would be better and brighter if our teachers would dwell on the Duty of Happiness as well as the Happiness of Duty.
