QUOTES
I
go to nature to be soothed and healed, and to have my senses put in order.
Nature
teaches more than she preaches. There are no sermons in stones. It is easier to
get a spark out of a stone than a moral.
To
find the universal elements enough; to find the air and the water exhilarating;
to be refreshed by a morning walk or an evening saunter; to be thrilled by the
stars at night; to be elated over a bird's nest or a wildflower in spring - these
are some of the rewards of the simple life.
How
beautiful the leaves grow old. How full of light and color are their last days.
"We
can use our scientific knowledge to improve and beautify the earth, or we can
use it to ...poison the air, corrupt the waters, blacken the face of the country,
and harass our souls with loud and discordant noises, [or]...we can use it to
mitigate or abolish all these things."
