Pursue some path, however narrow and crooked, in which you can walk with love and reverence.

In winter we lead a more inward life. Our hearts are warm and cheery, like cottages under drifts.

Truly the stars were given for a consolation to man.

The scenery, when it is truly seen, reacts on the life of the seer. How to live. How to get the most of life.... How to extract its honey from the flower of the world.
