What is human warfare but just this an effort to make the laws of God and nature take sides with one party.

To be admitted to Nature's hearth costs nothing. None is excluded, but excludes himself. You have only to push aside the curtain.

Nature and human life are as various as our several constitutions. Who shall say what prospect life offers to another?

In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks.

There are moments when all anxiety and stated toil are becalmed in the infinite leisure and repose of nature.
