Society speaks and all men listen, mountains speak and wise men listen.



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, and the storms their energy, while cares will drop off like autumn leaves.

Keep close to Nature's heart... and break clear away, once in a while, and climb a mountain or spend a week in the woods. Wash your spirit clean.



In God's wildness lies the hope of the world -- the great fresh, unblighted, unredeemed wilderness.
