| I feel no need for any other faith than
my faith in the kindness of human beings. I am so absorbed
in the wonder of earth and the life upon it that I cannot
think of heaven and angels.
Pearl S. Buck
To forget how to dig the earth and to tend
the soil is to forget ourselves.
Mohandas K. Gandhi
A flower is an educated weed.
Luther Burbank
There is a way that nature speaks, that land
speaks. Most of the time we are simply not patient enough,
quiet enough, to pay attention to the story.
Linda Hogan
The day I see a leaf is a marvel of a day.
Kenneth Patton
Cats are intended to teach us that not everything
in nature has a function.
Joseph Wood Krutch
There is nothing pleasanter than spading
when the ground is soft and damp.
John Steinbeck
Climb the mountains and get their good tidings.
Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into
trees.
The winds will blow their own freshness into you...
while cares will drop off like autumn leaves.
John Muir
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.
John Burroughs
A weed is no more than a flower in disguise.
James Russell
Lowell
Nature abhors a vacuum, and if I can only
walk with sufficient carelessness I am sure to be filled.
Henry David Thoreau
I was determined to know beans. Walden
Henry David Thoreau
Nature will bear the closest inspection.
She invites us to lay our eye level with her smallest leaf,
and take an insect view of its plain.
Henry David Thoreau
To me a lush carpet of pine needles or spongy
grass is more welcome than the most luxurious Persian rug.
Helen Keller
... everything in nature is lyrical in its
ideal essence, tragic in its fate, and comic in its existence.
George Santayana
