Barbara Ward

Slow down and enjoy life. It's not only the scenery you miss by going too fast, you also miss the sense of where you are going and why.

Forests, lakes, and rivers, clouds and winds, stars and flowers, stupendous glaciers and crystal snowflakes - every form of animate or inanimate existence, leaves its impress upon the soul of man.
