NUGGETS OF WISDOM - 1172

 

  • ·       “Forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet, and the winds long to play with your hair.” ~ Kahlil Gibran

    ·       “Time spent among trees is never time wasted.” ~ unknown

    ·       “Heaven is under our feet as well as over our heads.” ~ Henry David Thoreau

    ·       “And into the forest I go, to lose my mind and find my soul.” ~ John Muir

    ·       “Away, away, from men and towns,
    To the wild wood and the downs,
    To the silent wilderness,
    Where the soul need not repress its music.” ~ Percy Bysshe Shelley

    ·       “One of the first conditions of happiness is that the link between man and nature shall not be broken.” ~ Leo Tolstoy

    ·       “To me a lush carpet of pine needles or spongy grass is more welcome than the most luxurious Persian rug.” ~ Helen Keller

    ·       “Kinship with all creatures of the earth, sky, and water was a real and active principle. In the animal and bird world there existed a brotherly feeling that kept us safe among them…The animals had rights—the right of man’s protection, the right to live, the right to multiply, the right to freedom, and the right to man’s indebtedness. This concept of life and its relations filled us with the joy and mystery of living; it gave us reverence for all life; it made a place for all things in the scheme of existence with equal importance to all.” ~ Chief Luther Standing Bear
