“ One resolution I have made, and try always to keep, is this: ‘To rise above little things’. ”
Do not despise your own place and hour. Every place is under the stars, every place is the center of the world.

I still find each day too short for all the thoughts I want to think, all the walks I want to take, all the books I want to read, and all the friends I want to see. The longer I live, the more my mind dwells upon the beauty and the wonder of the world.
To find the universal elements enough, to find the air and the water exhilarating, to be refreshed by a morning walk or an evening saunter... to be thrilled by the stars at night, to be elated over a bird's nest or a wildflower in spring — these are some of the rewards of the simple life.
