"The Peace of Wild ThingsWhen despair for the world grows in meand I wake in the night at the least soundin fear of what my life and my children's lives may be,I go and lie down where the wood drakerests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds.I come into the peace of wild thingswho do not tax their lives with forethoughtof grief. I come into the presence of still water.And I feel above me the day-blind starswaiting with their light. For a timeI rest in the grace of the world, and am free."

"The habit of being happy enables one to be freed, or largely freed, from the domination of outward conditions."
Habit
"Marriage is like life - it is a field of battle, not a bed of roses."
Life
"Keep your eyes open to your mercies. The man who forgets to be thankful has fallen asleep in life."
Life
"It is better to lose health like a spendthrift than to waste it like a miser."

"When a torrent sweeps a man against a boulder, you must expect him to scream, and you need not be surprised if the scream is sometimes a theory."
Man
"If your morals make you dreary, depend on it, they are wrong."
Joy
"Happiness and goodness, according to canting moralists, stand in the relation of effect and cause. There was never anything less proved or less probable: our happiness is never in our own hands; we inherit our constitution; we stand buffet among friends and enemies; we may be so built as to feel a sneer or an aspersion with unusual keenness and so circumstanced as to be unusually exposed to them; we may have nerves very sensitive to pain, and be afflicted with a disease very painful. Virtue will not help us, and it is not meant to help us."
Happiness
"Keep your fears to yourself, but share your courage with others."
Courage
"To avoid an occasion for our virtues is a worse degree of failure than to push forward pluckily and fall."
Courage
"To travel hopefully is a better thing than to arrive."
