Quote of the Day: John Muir and Nature




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



-John Muir (1838-1914), writer, conservationist and founder of the Sierra Club.

Hey Veronica !

This is so true ! And I wish children of big cities could realize that parks and trees represent so much more than public spaces and equipments...

A few more quotes that I like :

Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished.
~Lao Tzu

I've made an odd discovery. Every time I talk to a savant I feel quite sure that happiness is no longer a possibility. Yet when I talk with my gardener, I'm convinced of the opposite. ~Bertrand Russell
