Death by starvation is slow.

Probably we never fully credit the interdependence of wild creatures, and their cognizance of the affairs of their own kind.

Nothing the desert produces expresses it better than the unhappy growth of the tree yuccas

For all the toll the desert takes of a man it gives compensations, deep breaths, deep sleep, and the communion of the stars.

Man is not himself only...He is all that he sees; all that flows to him from a thousand sources...He is the land, the lift of its mountain lines, the reach of its valleys.

I suppose no man becomes a pocket hunter by first intention.

It is always so much easier to be moral than it is to be spiritual.
