Satisfaction, even after one has dined well, is not so interesting and eager a feeling as hunger.

It is not often given in a noisy world to come to the places of great grief and silence.

Life was resumed, and anxious living blew away as if it had not been. I could not breathe deep enough or long enough. It was a return to happiness.

Such a nice day - out all day up in the Carter Notch direction, trout-fishing, with the long drive there and the long drive home again in time for supper. It was a lovely brook and I caught seven good trout and one small one - which eight trout-persons you should have for your breakfast if only you were near enough. It was not alone the fishing, but the delightful loneliness and being out of doors.

It is only unimaginative persons who can be really astonished. The imagination can always outrun the possible and actual sights and sounds of the world.

Do not hurry too fast in these early winter days, - a quiet hour is worth more to you than anything you can do in it.

my friends plunged into a borderless sea of reminiscences and personal news.
