Exclusiveness in a garden is a mistake as great as it is in society.

How strange that nature does not knock, and yet does not intrude!

Flowers… are a proud assertion that a ray of beauty outvalues all the utilities of the world.

To be admitted to Nature’s hearth costs nothing. None is excluded, but excludes himself. You have only to push aside the curtain.

Let the rain kiss you. Let the rain beat upon your head with silver liquid drops. Let the rain sing you a lullaby.

In my afternoon walk I would fain forget all my morning occupations and my obligations to society.

Breed is stronger than pasture.

Nature gives to every time and season some beauties of its own; and from morning to night, as from the cradle to the grave, it is but a succession of changes so gentle and easy that we can scarcely mark their progress.

A man’s interest in a single bluebird is worth more than a complete but dry list of the fauna and flora of a town.

A change in the weather is sufficient to recreate the world and ourselves.
