All flowers talk to me and so do hundreds of little living things in the woods. I learn what I know by watching and loving everything.

You can't teach people anything. You can only draw out.

If you love something enough, it will reveal itself to you.

Where there is no vision, there is no hope.

No individual has any right to come into the world and go out of it without leaving behind him distinct and legitimate reasons for having passed through it.

I love to think of nature as an unlimited broadcasting station, through which God speaks to us every hour, if we will only tune in.

Anything will give up its secrets if you love it enough. Not only have I found that when I talk to the little flower or to the little peanut they will give up their secrets, but I have found that when I silently commune with people they give up their secrets also – if you love them enough.
