Quotes from the same author

When one tugs at a single thing in nature, he finds it attached to the rest of the world.
In every walk with nature, one receives far more than he seeks.
There is a love of wild nature in everybody, an ancient mother-love showing itself whether recognized or no, and however covered by cares and duties
