The destiny of humans cannot be separated from the destiny of the earth.

Thomas Berry—Historian

“A wee child toddling in a wonder world. I prefer their dogma my excursions into the natural gardens where the voice of the Great Spirit is heard in the twittering of the birds, the rippling of the mighty waters, and the sweet breathing of flowers.

- Zitkala—Sa

“A thing of beauty is a joy forever: Its loveliness increases; it will never pass into nothingness; but still will keep a bower quiet for us, and a sleep full of sweet dreams, and health and quiet breathing.”

- John Keats

“See how nature—trees, flowers, grass—grows in silence; see the stars the moon and the sun, how they move in silence...We need silence to be able to touch souls.” - - - Mother Teresa

“We’re the bridge across forever arching above the sea, adventuring for our pleasure, living mysteries for the fun of it, choosing disasters, triumphs, challenges, impossible odds, testing ourselves over and again, learning love and love and LOVE!

- Richard Bach from “The Bridge Across Forever”

“You have not lived a perfect day, even though you have earned your money, unless you have done something for someone who will never be able to repay you.”

- Ruth Smeltzer

“Make yourselves nests of pleasant thoughts none of us yet know, for none of us have been taught in early youth, what fairy palaces we may build of beautiful thought—proof against all adversity. Bright fancies, satisfied memories, noble histories, faithful sayings, treasure houses of precious and restful thoughts, which care cannot disturb, nor pain make gloomy, nor poverty take away from us—houses built without hands, for our souls to live in.”

- John Ruskin

“I went out into the woods because I wanted to live deliberately. I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life...to put to rout all that was not life; and not, when I can to die, discover that I had not live.

- Henry David Thoreau

“Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could; some blunders and absurdities have crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; you shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.”

- Ralph Waldo Emerson

“It is easy enough to be friendly to one’s friends. But to befriend the one who regards himself as your enemy is the quintessence of true religion. The other is mere business.”

- Mohandas Gandhi

“Weed—a plant whose virtues have not yet been discovered.”

- Ralph Waldo Emerson
