"If it doesn't agree with your spirit let it go."

"In your serenity there is a clarity, strength and correctness that is beyond the petty scuffles of the moment - a greater truth. It is the truth of who you are; beautiful, calm, secure, open, willing and safe."

"To sit with a dog on a hillside on a glorious afternoon is to be back in Eden, where doing nothing was not boring - it was peace."

"This afternoon I sat at my window and alternately wrote at my new serial and watched a couple of dear, amusing, youngish maple-trees at the foot of the garden. They whispered secrets to each other all the afternoon.

I wonder what new scandal is afoot in Treeland."

"Do your work, then step back. The only path to serenity."

"Is your cucumber bitter? Throw it away. Are there briars in your path? Turn aside. That is enough. Do not go on and say, "Why were things of this sort ever brought into this world?" neither intolerable nor everlasting - if thou bearest in mind that it has its limits, and if thou addest nothing to it in imagination. Pain is either an evil to the body (then let the body say what it thinks of it!)-or to the soul. But it is in the power of the soul to maintain its own serenity and tranquility. . . ."
