"Who leaves the pine-tree, leaves his friend,..." - Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson

“Love of beauty is taste. The creation of beauty is art.”

“Time dissipates to shining ether the solid angularity of facts.”

“A house is made with walls and beams; a home is built with love and dreams.”

“Egotism is a kind of buckram that gives momentary strength and concentration to men, and seems to be much used in Nature for fabrics in which local and spasmodic energy is required.”

“If I wished to see a mountain or other scenery under the most favorable auspices, I would go to it in foul weather, so as to be there when it cleared up; we are then in the most suitable mood, and nature is most fresh and inspiring. There is no serenity so fair as that which is just established in a tearful eye.”

“Wild liberty breeds iron conscience; natures with great impulses have great resources, and return from far.”

“And your fragrance shall be my breath, And together we shall rejoice through all the seasons.”

“We are part of the whole which we call the universe, but it is an optical delusion of our mind that we think we are separate. This separateness is like a prison for us. Our job is to widen the circle of our compassion so we feel connected with all people and situations.”

“Making a difference in your work is not about productivity; it’s about people. When you focus on others and connect with them, you can work together to accomplish great things.”
