“Walk away quietly in any direction and taste the freedom of the mountaineer. Camp out among the grasses and gentians of glacial meadows, in craggy garden nooks full of nature’s darlings. Climb the mountains and get their good tidings, Nature’s peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their own freshness into you and the storms their energy, while cares will drop off like autumn leaves. As age comes on, one source of enjoyment after another is closed, but nature’s sources never fail.”
[…]
“Wander a whole summer if you can. Thousands of God’s blessings will  search you and soak you as if you were a sponge, and the big days will  go by uncounted. If you are business-tangled and so burdened by duty  that only weeks can be got out of the heavy laden year, give a month at  least. The time will not be taken from the sum of life. Instead of  shortening, it will indefinitely lengthen it and make you truly  immortal.”
