“We do not see nature with our eyes, but with our understandings and our hearts”

“Sorrows gather around great souls as storms do around mountains; but, like them, they break the storm and purify the air of the plain beneath them”

“If one way be better than another, that you may be sure is nature's way”

“Just living is not enough... one must have sunshine, freedom, and a little flower ”

“Nature always wears the colors of the spirit”

“The trees that are slow to grow bear the best fruit ”
