“ The best thing one can do when it's raining is to let it rain.”
“ A man can fail many times, but he isn't a failure until he begins to blame somebody else.”
“ Nature is always hinting at us. It hints over and over again. And suddenly we pick up the hint.”
“ The smallest thing in nature is worthy of our attention.”
“ I go to nature to be soothed and healed, and to have my senses put in order.”
