“This earth is a garden, this life a banquet, and it's time we realized that it was given to all life, animal and man, to enjoy.”

“I don't see how anybody could have a passion for nature without having an equally developed tolerance for the cold.”

“Neither man nor any animal can enjoy life to the full without taking some risks to life or limb.”

“Life is slippery. We all need a loving hand to hold onto.”

“...[W]e should be mucking about all the time, because mucking about is enjoying life for its own sake, now, and not in preparation for an imaginary future. It's obvious that the mirth-filled man, the cheerful soul, the childish adult is the one who has least to fear from life.”

“Life doesn't require that we be the best, only that we try our best.”

“Remember that children, marriages, and flower gardens reflect the kind of care they get.”
