Does anything eat flowers. I couldn't recall having seen anything eat a flower - are they nature's privileged pets?

How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives.

No one escapes the wilderness on the way to the promised land.

At a certain point, you say to the woods, to the sea, to the mountains, the world, Now I am ready. Now I will stop and be wholly attentive. You empty yourself and wait, listening.

A schedule defends from chaos and whim. It is a net for catching days. It is a scaffolding on which a worker can stand and labor with both hands at sections of time.

I think that if you have a sense of the sacredness of nature and of human relations, I think you will be uplifted in some sort of spiritual elevation.

Make no compromise in quality.

If I'm just in dungarees, I don't think I would intimidate anyone.

Never throw into double coverage.

Who is not liberal when young, does not have a heart. Who is not conservative when old, does not have a brain.
