You know that I have not lagged behind in the work of exploring our grand wilderness, and in calling everybody to come and enjoy the thousand blessings they have to offer.

Strange the faithless fuss made about taking a walk in the safest and pleasantest of all places, a wilderness.

There is that in the glance of a flower which may at times control the greatest of creation's braggart lords.

The power of imagination makes us infinite.

Earth has no sorrow that earth can not heal.

When we try to pick out anything by itself, we find it hitched to everything else in the universe.

How narrow we selfish conceited creatures are in our sympathies! How blind to the rights of all the rest of creation!
