Stop every now and then. Just stop and enjoy. Take a deep breath. Relax and take in the abundance of life.
When I bought my farm, I did not know what a bargain I had in the bluebirds, daffodils and thrushes; as little did I know what sublime mornings and sunsets I was buying.
Sounds of the wind or sounds of the sea Make me happy just to be.
The sun does not shine for a few trees and flowers, but for the wide world's joy.
No sky is heavy, if the heart be light.
The fog comes on little cat feet. It sits looking over the harbor and city on silent haunches and then moves on.
Is it so small a thing to have enjoyed the sun, to have lived light in the sky, to have loved, to have thought, to have done?
The landscape belongs to the person who looks at it.
There is pleasure in the pathless woods . . . there is rapture on the lonely shore.
The best thing about animals is that they don't talk much.
Be like the bird, who halting in his flight on limb too slight, feels it give way beneath him, yet sings knowing he hath wings.
Children run wildly, breathlessly . . . facing the wind . . . absorbing its speed.
A little bit of love can be like sunshine after rain and cause someone to realize that the life is not in vain.
The silence of nature is very real. It surrounds you . . . you can feel it.
Each moment of the year has its own beauty . . . a picture which was never before and shall never be seen again.
Flowers are like human beings . . . they thrive on a little kindness.
After a thundershower, the weather takes a pledge and signs it with a rainbow.
There is nothing more beautiful than a rainbow - but it takes both rain and sunshine to make one. If life is to be rounded and many-colored, like a rainbow, both joy and sorrow must come to it.
I think that folks should carry bright umbrellas in the rain . . .to smile into the sullen sky and make it glad again.
Like a night without starlight, so is a life without love.
