"Oh Trees, Trees, Trees...wake. Don't you remember..." - Quote by C S Lewis

“Always prefer the plain direct word to the long, vague one. Don't implement promises, but keep them.”

“A man with an obsession is a man who has very little sales resistance.”

“The proper aim of giving is to put the recipient in a state where he no longer needs our gift.”

“The reason why rivers and seas are able to be lords over a hundred mountain streams, is that they know how to keep below them. That is why they are able to reign over all the mountain streams.”

“Time destroys the speculation of men, but it confirms nature.”

“The deeper we look into nature, the more we recognize that it is full of life, and the more profoundly we know that all life is a secret and that we are united with all life that is in nature.”

“Who are you, reader, reading my poems an hundred years hence? I cannot send you one single flower from this wealth of the spring, one single streak of gold from yonder clouds. Open your doors and look abroad. From your blossoming garden gather fragrant memories of the vanished flowers of an hundred years before. In the joy of your heart may you feel the living joy that sang one spring morning, sending its glad voice across a hundred years.”

“they say that time heals all things, they say you can always forget; but the smiles and the tears across the years they twist my heart strings yet!”

“You are part of my existence, part of myself. You have been in every line I have ever read, since I first came here, the rough common boy whose poor heart you wounded even then. You have been in every prospect I have ever seen since-on the river, on the sails of the ships, on the marshes, in the clouds, in the light, in the darkness, in the wind, in the woods, in the sea, in the streets. You have been the embodiment of every graceful fancy that my mind has ever become acquainted with.”
