excepting man, know that the principal business of life is to enjoy it.

Butler

To
enjoy scenery you should ramble amidst it; let the feelings to which it
gives rise mingle with other thoughts; look round upon it in intervals
of reading; and do not go to it as one goes to see the lions fed at the
zoo. The beautiful is not to be stared at, but to be lived with.
- Thomas
Babington Macaulay
|
We listen too much
to the telephone and we listen too little to nature. The wind is one of
my sounds. A lonely sound, perhaps, but soothing. Everybody should have
his personal sounds to listen for - sounds that will make him exhilarated
and alive, or quiet and calm.
- André
Kostelanetz
|
Always in the big
woods when you leave familiar ground and step off alone into a new place
there will be, along with the feelings of curiosity and excitement, a
little nagging of dread. It is the ancient fear of the unknown, and it
is your first bond with the wilderness you are going into.
- Wendell
Berry

reality, so that we actually feel the rapture of being alive.
- Joseph
Campbell
|
My advice is: Go
outside, to the fields, enjoy nature and the sunshine, go out and try
to recapture happiness in yourself and in God. Think of all the beauty
that's still left in and around you and be happy!
- Anne
Frank
|
If you reject the
food, ignore the customs, fear the religion and avoid the people, you
might better stay home. You are like a pebble thrown into water; you become
wet on the surface but you are never part of the water.

Climb the mountains
and get their good tidings. Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine
flows into trees. The winds will blow their own freshness into you, and
the storms their energy, while cares will drop away from you like the
leaves of Autumn.
- John
Muir
|
Not I, nor anyone
else can travel that road for you; You must travel it for yourself. It
is not far, it is within reach; Perhaps you have been on it since you
were born and did not know; Perhaps it is everywhere on water and on land.
- Walt
Whitman
|
Never lose an opportunity
of seeing anything that is beautiful, for beauty is God's handwriting

in every fair flower, and thank God for it as a cup of blessing.

Waldo Emerson

sailing away.
