“Spring work is going on with joyful enthusiasm.”

We were glad, however, to get within reach of information.

The making of gardens and parks goes on with civilization all over the world, and they increase both in size and number as their value is recognized.

But we are governed more than we know, and most when we are wildest.

In drying plants, botanists often dry themselves. Dry words and dry facts will not fire hearts.

Society speaks and all men listen, mountains speak and wise men listen.

Let children walk with nature, let them see the beautiful blendings and communions of death and life.

Wander a whole summer if you can, time will not be taken from the sum of your life. Instead of shortening, it will definitely lengthen it and make you truly immortal.

In every walk with Nature one receives far more than he seeks.

Beauty beyond thought everywhere, beneath, above, made and being made forever.

How glorious a greeting the sun gives the mountains!

The clearest way into the Universe is through a forest wilderness.

There is not a fragment in all nature, for every relative fragment of one thing is a full harmonious unit in itself.

But it is in the darkest nights, when storms are blowing and the agitated waves are phosphorescent, that the most impressive displays are made.

One must labor for beauty as for bread.

As age comes on, one source of enjoyment after another is closed, but nature’s sources never fail.

As long as I live, I’ll hear waterfalls and birds and winds sing.

Just give your natural enthusiasm free reign and say whatever comes into your head.

Art cannot single-handedly create enthusiasm… it merely contributes to enthusiasm and guides us to be more conscious of feelings that we might previously have experienced only tentatively or hurriedly.

Humility, peace, child-like enthusiasm, acceptance, and sincerity is the true infinity engine!

Like simplicity and candor, and other much-commented qualities, enthusiasm is charming until we meet it face to face, and cannot escape from its charm.

The choice of a topic which will bear analysis and support enthusiasm, is essential to the enjoyment of conversation.

It is because of our unassailable enthusiasm, our profound reverence for education, that we habitually demand of it the impossible. The teacher is expected to perform a choice and varied series of miracles.

Each day, you must rise with a restless enthusiasm. If you don’t, you are working.

Find that pursuit that will energize you, consume you, become an obsession.
