What is worthwhile in life? I think it is worth living and dreaming. If you don't you may be dead anyhow - inside.

There are no accidents in Nature. Every motion of the constantly shifting bodies in the world is timed to the occasion for some definite, fore-ordered end. The flowers blossom in obedience to the same law that marks the course of constellations, and the song of a bird is the echo of a universal symphony. Nature is one, and to me the greatest delight of observation and study is to discover new unities in this all-embracing and eternal harmony.

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

God has cared for these trees, saved them from drought, disease, avalanches, and a thousand tempests and floods. But he cannot save them from fools.

One should go to the woods for safety, if for nothing else.

In God's wildness lies the hope of the world.

A little pure wildness is the one great present want, both of men and sheep.
