There is something about Safari life that makes you forget all your sorrows

our longing is our pledge, and blessed are the homesick, for they shall come home.

Man and woman are two locked caskets, of which each contains the key to the other.

There are times of great beauty on a coffee farm. When the plantation flowered in the beginning of the rains, it was a radiant sight, like a cloud of chalk, in the mist of the drizzling rain.

When we are young the idea of death or failure is intolerable to us; even the possibility of ridicule we cannot bear. But we have also an unconquerable faith in our own stars, and in the impossibility of anything venturing to go against us. As we grow old we slowly come to believe that everything will turn out badly for us, and that failure is in the nature of things, but then we do not much mind what happens to us one way or the other. In this way a balance is obtained.

One may take many liberties with God which one cannot take with men.
