There is a love of wild nature in everybody, an ancient mother-love showing itself whether recognized or no, and however covered by cares and duties

Anyhow we never know where we must go, nor what guides we are to get - -people,storms, guardian angels, or sheep.

Climb the mountains and get their good tidings.

Nothing truly wild is unclean.

It is always interesting to see people in dead earnest, from whatever cause, and earthquakes make everybody earnest.

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.

The most distinctive, and perhaps the most impressive, characteristic of American scenery is its wilderness.
