More From Hal Borland
- "You can’t be suspicious of a tree, or accuse a bird or a squirrel of subversion or challenge the ideology of a violet."
- "The ultimate wisdom which deals with beginnings, remains locked in a seed. There it lies, the simplest fact of the universe and at the same time the one which calls faith rather than reason."
- "A woodland in full color is awesome as a forest fire, in magnitude at least, but a single tree is like a dancing tongue of flame to warm the heart."

- "Sometimes they are a matter of luck; the photographer could not expect or hope for them. Sometimes they are a matter of patience, waiting for an effect to be repeated that he has seen and lost or for one that he anticipates."― Bill Brandt
- "I’d like to be more patient! I just want everything now. I’ve tried to meditate, but it’s really hard for me to stay still. I’d like to try to force myself to do it, because everybody says how wonderful meditation is for you, but I can’t shut my mind up. So patience and learning is the key."― Ellen DeGeneres
- "Prudence is but experience, which equal time, equally bestows on all men, in those things they equally apply themselves unto."― Thomas Hobbes
