One of the most tragic things I know about human nature is that all of us tend to put off living. We are all dreaming of some magical rose garden over the horizon instead of enjoying the roses that are blooming outside our windows today.
Dale Carnegie

In all things of nature there is something of the marvelous.
Aristotle

Nature will bear the closest inspection. She invites us to lay our eye level with the smallest leaf, and take on insect view of its plain.
Henry Daid Thoreau
