Never a day passes but that I do myself the honor to commune with some of nature's varied forms.

Reading about nature is fine, but if a person walks in the woods and listens carefully, he can learn more than what is in books, for they speak with the voice of God.

In these strenuous times, we are likely to become morbid and look constantly on the dark side of life, and spend entirely too much time considering and brooding over what we can't do, rather than what we can do, and instead of growing morose and despondent over opportunities either real or imaginary that are shut from us, let us rejoice at the many unexplored fields in which there is unlimited fame and fortune to the successful explorer and upon which there is no color line; simply the survival of the fittest.

I know of nothing more inspiring than that of making discoveries for ones self.

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

One of the things that has helped me as much as any other is not how long I am going to live, but how much I can do while living.

There is a use for almost everything.
