“It is always easier to believe than to deny. Our minds are naturally affirmative”

“The lesson which life repeats and constantly enforces is 'look under foot.' You are always nearer the divine and the true sources of your power than you think. ”

“Look underfoot. You are always nearer to the true sources of your power than you think. The lure of the distant and the difficult is deceptive. The great opportunity is where you are. Don't despise your own place and hour. Every place is the center of the world.”

“I go to nature to be soothed and healed, and to have my senses put in order.”

“The kingdom of heaven in not a place but a state of mind.”

“If I were to name the three most precious resources of life, I should say books, friends, and nature....”

“I go to books and to nature as the bee goes to a flower, for a nectar that I can make into my own honey.”
