Everything In Nature Has Its Own Intrinsic

No One Can Feel More Gratefully The Charm Of Noble Scenery, Or The Refreshment Of Escape Into The Unspoiled Solitudes Of Nature, Than The Laborer At Some Close In-door Employment.

The Peach-bud Glows, The Wild Bee Hums, And Wind-flowers Wave In Graceful Gladness.

God Be Thanked For The Thinkers Of Good And Noble Thoughts! It Wakes Up All The Best In Ourselves, To Come Into Close Contact With Others Greater And Better In Every Way Than We Are.

I Learned What Education Really Is: The Penetrating Deeper And Rising Higher Into Life, As Well As Making Continually Wider Explorations; The Rounding Of The Whole Human Being Out Of Its Nebulous Elements Into Form, As Planets And Suns Are Rounded, Until They Give Out Safe And Steady Light. This Makes The Process A Infinite One, Not Possible To Be Completed At Any School.

Because Its Myriad Glimmering Plumes Like A Great Army's Stir And Wave; Because Its Golden Billows Blooms, The Poor Man's Barren Walks To Lave: Because Its Sun-shaped Blossoms Show How Souls Receive The Light Of God, And Unto Earth Give Back That Glow I Thank Him For The Goldenrod.
