"The splendor of nature lives in man’s heart; to be seen, it must be felt."
~Jean-Jacques Rousseau

Nature Is What We See
“Nature” is what we see—
The Hill—the Afternoon—
Squirrel—Eclipse—
the Bumble bee—
Nay—Nature is Heaven—
Nature is what we hear—
The Bobolink—the Sea—
Thunder—the Cricket—
Nay—Nature is Harmony—
Nature is what we know—
Yet have no art to say—
So impotent Our Wisdom is
To her Simplicity."
Emily Dickinson
"Our culture has filled our heads but emptied our hearts, stuffed our wallets but starved our wonder. It has fed our thirst for facts but not for meaning or mystery. It produces "nice" people, not heroes."
~Peter Kreeft

"The tides are in our veins, we still mirror the stars, life is your child, but there is in me
Older and harder than life and more impartial, the eye that watched before there was an ocean."
Robinson Jeffers
"He who is as peace within himself also causes no trouble for others."

"Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower."
Albert Camus
"Life belongs to the living, and he who lives must be prepared for changes."
~Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
IMPERIVM
"Conscience, Christ, and the gift of faith make evil men uneasy in their sin. They feel that if they could drive Christ from the earth, they would be free from "moral inhibitions." They forget that it is their own nature and conscience which makes them feel that way. Being unable to drive God from the heavens, they would drive his ambassadors from the earth. In a lesser sphere, that is why many men sneer at virtue--because it makes vice uncomfortable."
~Venerable Fulton J. Sheen
IMPERIVM
"One hour of life, crowded to the full with glorious action, and filled with noble risks, is worth whole years of those mean observances of paltry decorum, in which men steal through existence, like sluggish waters through a marsh, without either honour or observation."
~Walter Scott
IMPERIVM
“But I am done with apple-picking now.
Essence of winter sleep is on the night,
The scent of apples: I am drowsing off.”
Robert Frost
"Hence it comes about that all armed Prophets have been victorious, and all unarmed Prophets have been destroyed."
~Niccolo Machiavelli
