A wise traveler never despises his own country.

Whoever will cultivate their own mind will find full employment. Every virtue does not only require great care in the planting, but as much daily solicitude in cherishing as exotic fruits and flowers; the vices and passions (which I am afraid are the natural product of the soil) demand perpetual weeding. Add to this the search after knowledge... and the longest life is too short.

Mary Wortley Montagu

I go to nature to be soothed and healed, and to have my senses put in order.

John Burroughs

That the sea is one of the most beautiful and magnificent sights in Nature, all admit.

John Joly

A strenuous soul hates cheap success.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

The clergyman is expected to be a kind of human Sunday.

Samuel Butler

Devout believers are safeguarded in a high degree against the risk of certain neurotic illnesses; their acceptance of the universal neurosis spares them the task of constructing a personal one.

Sigmund Freud

All I know is just what I read in the papers.

Will Rogers

Not engaging in ignorance is wisdom.

Bodhidharma

All war propaganda consists, in the last resort, in substituting diabolical abstractions for human beings. Similarly, those who defend war have invented a pleasant sounding vocabulary of abstractions in which to describe the process of mass murder.

Aldous Huxley

You cannot be both fashionable and first-rate.

Logan Pearsall Smith

I have an internal protectiveness where it's like, if it comes to just me, as frightened as I am of losing someone I love or things going sour or simply being alone, there is a dark place in my brain where I'm like, It could happen and I'm okay, I'm prepared.

Lena Headey

It's really hard for me to sometimes put myself out there, like 'Hey, how do you feel about making music together?' because maybe I'm afraid of rejection or I don't want to put anybody out. It's the Southerner in me, like, 'I don't mean to bother you but do you mind making a song?'
