When I was young, I said to God, 'God, tell me the mystery of the universe.' But God answered, 'That knowledge is for me alone.' So I said, 'God, tell me the mystery of the peanut.' Then God said, 'Well George, that's more nearly your size.' And he told me.

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.

Let us rejoice at the many unexplored fields in which there is unlimited fame and fortune to the successful explorer . . .

My prayers seem to be more of an attitude than anything else. I indulge in very little lip service, but ask the Great Creator silently, daily, and often many times a day, to permit me to speak to Him through the three great Kingdoms of the world which He has created - the animal, mineral, and vegetable Kingdoms - to understand their relations to each other, and our relations to them and to the Great God who made all of us. I ask Him daily and often momently to give me wisdom, understanding, and bodily strength to do His will; hence I am asking and receiving all the time.

There is literally nothing that I ever asked to do, that I asked the blessed Creator to help me to do, that I have not been able to accomplish.

Fear of something is at the root of hate for others, and hate within will eventually destroy the hater.

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.
