I Go To Nature To Be Soothed

The Art Of Nature Is All In The Direction Of Concealment.

The God Of The Puritans...was A Monster Too Horrible To Contemplate.

I Do Not Think I Exaggerate The Importance Or The Charms Of Pedestrianism, Or Our Need As A People To Cultivate The Art. I Think It Would Tend To Soften The National Manners, To Teach Us The Meaning Of Leisure, To Acquaint Us With The Charms Of The Open Air, To Strengthen And Foster The Tie Between The Race And The Land. No One Else Looks Out Upon The World So Kindly And Charitably As The Pedestrian; No One Else Gives And Takes So Much From The Country He Passes Through.

One Resolution I Have Made, And Try Always To Keep, Is This: ‘to Rise Above Little Things’.

It Is Always Easier To Believe Than To Deny. Our Minds Are Naturally Affirmative.
