~Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

"Fresh air is as good for the mind as for the body. Nature always seems to be trying to talk to us as if she had some great secret to tell. And so she has."
John Lubbock
"There is not a particle of life which does not bear poetry within it.”
~Gustave Flaubert

"There are two seasons when the leaves are in their glory, their green and perfect youth in June and this their ripe old age.”
Henry David Thoreau
“A flourishing society is a fabric of historical loyalties and expectations, shaped by the free dealings of people over many generations. If you describe it as a contract, then it is not a contract between the living, but between the living, the unborn and the dead.”
~Sir Roger Scruton
IMPERIVM
"As long as we are thinking of natural values we must say that the sun looks down on nothing half so good as a household laughing together over a meal, or two friends talking over a pint of beer, or a man alone reading a book that interests him; and that all economies, politics, laws, armies, and institutions, save insofar as they prolong and multiply such scenes, are a mere ploughing the sand and sowing the ocean, a meaningless vanity and vexation of the spirit. Collective activities are, of course, necessary, but this is the end to which they are necessary.”
~C.S. Lewis
IMPERIVM
"You must know that there is nothing higher and stronger and more wholesome and good for life in the future than some good memory, especially a memory of childhood, of home. People talk to you a great deal about your education, but some good, sacred memory, preserved from childhood, is perhaps the best education. If a man carries many such memories with him into life, he is safe to the end of his days, and if one has only one good memory left in one’s heart, even that may sometime be the means of saving us."
~Fyodor Dostoevsky
IMPERIVM
“Nature never hurries. Atom by atom, little by little, she achieves her work.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
"Tolerance is the virtue of the man without convictions."
~G. K. Chesterton
IMPERIVM
"If you are ever tempted to look for outside approval, realize that you have compromised your integrity. If you need a witness, be your own."
~Epictetus

"Faith is the highest passion in a human being. Many in every generation may not come that far, but none comes further."
~Søren Kierkegaard

"Rather than love, than money, than fame, give me truth."
