Books have been to me what gold is to the miser, what new fields are to the explorer.

In very truth it is the unattained which gives zest to the commonplace and brims the cup of our daily life with keenest joy.

Never yet was a springtime, when the buds forgot to bloom.

Creative genius is a divinely bestowed gift which is the coronation of the few.

I think that the Almighty gave springtime to a tired world so that its peoples might know rest. I think that He gave it to a troubled world so that the world's inhabitants might find peace. I think He gave it to a discouraged world so that hope and faith might be reborn!

Not always the fanciest cake that's there Is the best to eat!

Spring is beautiful, and summer is perfect for vacations, but autumn brings a longing to get away from the unreal things of life, out into the forest at night with a campfire and the rustling leaves.
