How often have I lain beneath rain on a strange roof, thinking of home.

The past is a candle at great distance: too close to let you quit, too far to comfort you.

Everything in nature is lyrical in its ideal essence, tragic in its fate, and comic in its existence.

Leave the road, take the trails.

The world is mud-luscious and puddle-wonderful.

Choose only one master—nature.

Going to the mountains is like going home.

If you can’t be in awe of Mother Nature, there’s something wrong with you.

As in everything, nature is the best instructor.

The land knows you, even when you are lost.

The happiest man is he who learns from nature the lesson of worship.

We still do not know one-thousandth of one percent of what nature has revealed to us.

All my life through, the new sights of Nature made me rejoice like a child.

The earth laughs in flowers.

Nature is loved by what is best in us.

I believe a leaf of grass is no less than the journey-work of the stars.
