Education makes a straight ditch of a free meandering brook.

Farmers are respectable and interesting to me in proportion as they are poor.

A man has not seen a thing who has not felt it.

He is blessed over all mortals who loses no moment of the passing life in remembering the past

When the farmer has got his house, he may not be the richer but the poorer for it, and it be the house that has got him... a man is rich in proportion to the number of things which he can afford to let alone.

We must walk consciously only part way toward our goal, and then leap in the dark to our success.

Wherever you have planted a seed, I am prepared to expect wonders.
