~ The miracle is not to fly in the air, or to walk on the water; but to walk on the earth. ~
~
There is no security on this earth, there is only opportunity. ~
~ We are partakers of a common nature, and the same causes that contribute to the benefit of one contribute to the benefit of another.
~
~ We shrink from change; yet is there anything that can come into being without it? What does Nature hold dearer, or more proper to herself? Could you have a hot bath unless the firewood underwent some change.. is it possible for any useful thing to be achieved without change? Do you not see, then, that change in yourself is of the same order, and no less necessary to Nature? ~
~ Nature is my friend. Life is my teacher of philosophy. History
is my guide. ~
~ Every part of this Earth is sacred to my people. Every shining pine needle, every sandy shore, every mist in the dark woods, every clearing and humming insect is holy in the memory and experience of my people. ~
~ I believe in God and in nature and in the triumph of good over evil. ~
~ Is not the core of nature in the heart of man? ~
~ The earth does not belong to man, man belongs to the earth. ~
~ There can be no very black misery to him who lives in the midst of Nature and has his senses still. ~
~ Death can show us the way, for when we know and understand completely that our time on this earth is limited, and that we have no way of knowing when it will be over, then we must live each day as if it were the only one we had. ~
