Going to the mountains is going home.

Spring work is going on with joyful enthusiasm.

A lifetime is so little a time that we die before we get ready to live. I should like to study at a college, but then I have to say to myself: "You will die before you can do anything else".

Most people who travel look only at what they are directed to look at. Great is the power of the guidebook maker, however ignorant.

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

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

At the touch of this divine light, the mountains seemed to kindle to a rapt, religious consciousness, and stood hushed like devout worshippers waiting to be blessed.
