Oh, Spring is surely coming, Her couriers fill the air; Each morn are new arrivals, Each night her ways prepare; I scent her fragrant garments, Her foot is on the stair.

The pleasure and value of every walk or journey we take may be doubled to us by carefully noting down the impressions it makes upon us.

Joy in the universe, and keen curiosity about it all - that has been my religion.

I am in love with this world. It has been my home. It has been my point of outlook into the universe. I have never bruised myself against it nor tried to use it ignobly.

I still find each day too short for all the thoughts I want to think, all the walks I want to take, all the books I want to read, and all the friends I want to see.

I go to books and to nature as a bee goes to the flower, for a nectar that I can make into my own honey.

Few persons realize how much of their happiness, such as it is, is dependent upon their work.
