"I like trees because they seem more resigned to the way they have to live than other things do." ― Willa Cather Topic(s): Nature More From Willa Cather "That is happiness; to be dissolved into something complete and great." "There are some things you learn best in calm, and some in storm." "Only solitary men know the full joys of frienship. Others have their family; but to a solitary and an exile, his friends are everything." More In Nature "And though my Lord hath lost his estate and been banished out of his country, yet neither despised poverty nor pinching necessity could make him break the bonds of friendship or weaken his loyal duty."― Margaret Cavendish "Teach a child what is wise, that is morality. Teach him what is wise and beautiful, that is religion!"― Thomas Huxley "The natural capital is not income, but we spend our natural capital as if it were revenue, as if it were going to come back next year without any problems, whereas these renewals in nature can take hundreds of years."― Susan George
