#quotes #john-muir #nature #autumn

I always choose to look, as much as one can, at the supernatural not being something that exists outside of nature, but a deeper, fundamental heart of nature that perhaps humans... have lost touch with. It's a more primal thing than perhaps we are attuned to in our modern, self-aware way of life. ~Alan Ball

In running, it doesn't matter how fast or slow you are relative to anyone else. You set your own pace and you measure your own progress.

We have different forms assigned to us in the school of life, different gifts imparted. All is not attractive that is good. Iron is useful, though it does not sparkle like the diamond. Gold has not the fragrance of a flower. So different persons have various modes of excellence, and we must have an eye to all. ~William Wilberforce

The only thing I really regret in life is not having a daughter. ~Gabriel Garcia Marquez
