"If there were only turnips and potatoes in the world, someone would complain that plants grow the wrong way." — Georg Christoph Lichtenberg

Sorrows gather around great souls as storms do around mountains; but, like them, they break the storm and purify the air of the plain beneath them

He is richest who is content with the least, for content is the wealth of nature

I believe a leaf of grass is no less than the journey-work of the stars

I believe that if one always looked at the skies, one would end up with wings

Solitary trees, if they grow at all, grow strong

Just living is not enough... one must have sunshine, freedom, and a little flower
