Of all the seasons, autumn offers the most to man and requires the least of him.

Year's end is neither an end nor a beginning but a going on, with all the wisdom that experience can instill in us.

All walking is discovery. On foot we take the time to see things whole.

No winter lasts forever; no spring skips its turn.

There it is, fog, atmospheric moisture still uncertain in destination, not quite weather and not altogether mood, yet partaking of both.

As I stood and watched the mists slowly rising this morning I wondered what view was more beautiful than this.

Summer ends, and Autumn comes, and he who would have it otherwise would have high tide always and a full moon every night.

You can't be suspicious of a tree, or accuse a bird or a squirrel of subversion or challenge the ideology of a violet.

A snowdrift is a beautiful thing - if it doesn't lie across the path you have to shovel or block the road that leads to your destination.

If you would know strength and patience, welcome the company of trees.

A woodland in full color is awesome as a forest fire, in magnitude at least, but a single tree is like a dancing tongue of flame to warm the heart.

Praying leads to purity.

I had as lief have the foppery of freedom as the morality of imprisonment.

Hope is generally a wrong guide, though it is very good company by the way.

The walls, the bars, the guns and the guards can never encircle or hold down the idea of the people.

My definition of a character actor is - they never get the girl.

It doesn't matter what you do because it's going to happen anyway.

The victories of character are instant, and victories for all.

We write because something inside says we must and we can no longer ignore that voice.

If you must choose between two evils, pick the one you've never tried before.

I became a villain for doing the right thing.
