Nature never hurries: atom by atom, little by little, she achieves her work. The lesson one learns from yachting or planting is the manners of Nature; patience with the delays of wind and sun, delays of the seasons, bad weather, excess or lack of water.
Ralph Waldo EmersonHe is a dull observer whose experience has not taught him the reality and force of magic, as well as of chemistry.
Ralph Waldo EmersonFive great enemies of peace inhabit us: avarice, ambition, envy, anger and pride.
