There are natures that go to the streams of life in great cities as the hart goes to the water brooks.

Have you ever observed that we pay much more attention to a wise passage when it is quoted, than when we read it in the original author?

Never be afraid of What is good; the good is always the road to what is true.

High culture always isolates, always drives men out of their class, and makes it more difficult for them to share naturally and easily the common class-life around them. They seek the few companions who can understand them, and when these are not to be had within a traversable distance, they sit and work alone.

What delights us in the spring is more a sensation than an appearance, more a hope than any visible reality. There is something in the softness of the air, in the lengthening of the days, in the very sounds and odors of the sweet time, that caresses us and consoles us after the rigorous weeks of winter.

There are natures that go to the streams of life in great cities as the hart goes to the water brooks.

We need society, and we need solitude also, as we need summer and winter, day and night, exercise and rest.
