Take Your time to think deeply with Your self alone.

Great works are performed not by strength, but by perseverance.

The young man knows the rules, but the old man knows the exceptions
(Oliver Wendell Holmes)
Wilderness is the raw material out of which man has hammered the artifact called civilization.
(Aldo Leopold)
He should give praise where praise is due, ungrudgingly by word of mouth or written order. He should show himself as frequently as possible to his troops and as impressively as possible. He should never indulge in sarcasm, which is being clever at someone else's expense and always offends. He should tell his soldiers the truth, save when absolutely necessary to conceal plans. A general may succeed for some time in persuading his superiors that he is a good commander: he will never persuade his army that he is a good commander unless he has the real qualities of one.
(Wavell, General Sir Archibald)
Virtually all of our township roads, at this date, have been stoned and paved the better to drive on. Few are still fit for walking. When you walk, you walk against traffic, wary, adapting, on the alert, keeping step with a fast-wheeling evolution, for the test of successful pedestrianism is, after all, survival. In the scheme of contemporary reversal such pleasures as walking the time and the space to walk in these become the luxuries. And naturally. For where many are riding few will be able to walk. Only those who feel rich can afford it or those who are, or feel poor.
(Walter Teller)
