“Those who dwell among the beauties and mysteries of the earth
are never alone or weary of life.”
“Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth
find resources of strength
that will endure as long as life lasts”
“One way to open your eyes is to ask yourself,
‘What if I had never seen this before?
What if I knew I would never see it again?’ “
“It is a wholesome and necessary thing
for us to turn again to the earth
and in the contemplation of her beauties
to know the sense of wonder and humility. ”
