Recovery

To sit in the shade on a fine day and look upon verdure is the most perfect refreshment

Give me odorous at sunrise a garden of beautiful flowers where I can walk undisturbed

True silence is the rest of the mind, and is to the spirit what sleep is to the body, nourishment and refreshment

God Almighty first planted a garden. And indeed, it is the purest of human pleasures

Seek home for rest, for home is best

There is nothing like staying at home for real comfort

The home to everyone is to him his castle and fortress, as well for his defence against injury and violence, as for his repose

If there were no schools to take the children away from home part of the time, the insane asylums would be filled with mothers

Sunday clears away the rust of the whole week

To sit in the shade on a fine day and look upon verdure is the most perfect refreshment.

Inside myself is a place where I live all alone and that is where I renew my springs that never dry up

Certainty is the mother of quiet and repose, and uncertainty the cause of variance and contentions

If I had my life to live over again, I would have made a rule to read some poetry and listen to some music at least once a week.

He who sleeps half a day has won half a life

It is foolish to pretend that one is fully recovered from a disappointed passion. Such wounds always leave a scar

Joy and temperance and repose - slam the door on the doctor's nose

I go to nature to be soothed and healed, and to have my senses put in order.

When I have found intense pain relieved, a weary brain soothed,and calm refreshing sleep obtained by a cigar, I have felt grateful to God, and have blessed His name

How to gain, how to keep, how to recover happiness is in fact for most men at all times the secret motive of all they do, and of all they are willing to endure.
