A Flower Is An Educated Weed.

I Have Seen Myself Lose Intolerance, Narrowness, Bigotry, Complacence, Pride And A Whole Bushel-basket Of Other Intellectual Vices Through My Contact With Nature And With Men. And When You Take Weeds Out Of A Garden It Gives You Room To Grow Flowers. So, Every Time I Lost A Little Self-satisfaction, Or Arrogance, I Could Plant Some Broadness Or Love Of My Own In Its Place, And After A While The Garden Of My Mind Began To Bloom And Be Fragrant And I Found Myself Better Equipped For My Work And More Useful To Others As A Consequence.

Men Should Stop Fighting Among Themselves And Start Fighting Insects.

In The Span Of My Own Lifetime I Observed Such Wondrous Progress In Plant Evolution That I Look Forward Optimistically To A Healthy, Happy World As Soon As Its Children Are Taught The Principles Of Simple And Rational Living.

If We Cannot Meet Our Everyday Surroundings With Equanimity And Pleasure And Grow Each Day In Some Useful Direction, Then... Life Is On The Road Toward Misfortune, Misery And Destruction.

All My Work Has Come About Through A Change In My Earlier Opinion Of Religion.
