I never saw a discontented tree. They grip the ground as though they liked it, and though fast rooted they travel about as far as we do.

Between every two pines is a doorway to a new world.

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".

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

If I should be fated to walk no more with Nature, be compelled to leave all I most devoutly love in the wilderness, return to civilization and be twisted into the characterless cable of society, then these sweet, free, cumberless rovings will be as chinks and slits on life's horizon, through which I may obtain glimpses of the treasures that lie in God's wilds beyond my reach.

The world is big and I want to have a good look at it before it gets dark.

It may not be easy, life isn't easy, but dreams keep you alive.
