Wilderness is a necessity... there must be places for human beings to satisfy their souls.

Come to the woods, for here is rest. There is no repose like that of the green deep woods.

God never made an ugly landscape. All that sun shines on is beautiful, so long as it is wild.

The sun shines not on us but in us.

Nature in her green, tranquil woods heals and soothes all afflictions.

Going into the woods, is going home

Look! Nature is overflowing with the grandeur of God!

The mountains are calling and I must go.

In this silent, serene wilderness the weary can gain a heart-bath in perfect peace.

When one tugs at a single thing in nature, he finds it attached to the rest of the world.

In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks.

Of all the paths you take in life, make sure a few of them are dirt.

I’d rather be in the mountains thinking of God, than in church thinking about the mountains.

When you give yourself, you receive more than you give.

Friendship is born from an identity of spiritual goals - from common navigation toward a star.

I know but one freedom and that is the freedom of the mind.

It is in your act that you exist, not in your body. Your act is yourself, and there is no other you.

It is the time you have wasted for your rose that makes your rose so important.

Life always bursts the boundaries of formulas.
