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

Nothing is more beautiful than the loveliness of the woods before sunrise. At no other time have I so sharp an understanding of what God means to do with me as in these hours of dawn.

If you listen carefully enough to anything, it will talk to you.

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.

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.

Whatever you love opens its secrets to you.

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