Richard Jefferies

The lover of nature has the highest art in his soul.

I desire a greatness of soul, an irradiance of mind, a deeper insight, a broader hope.

It would seem that the ant works its way tentatively, and, observing where it fails, tries another place and succeeds.

If you're not having a good time, find something else that gives you some joy in life.

Seek not, my soul, the life of the immortals; but enjoy to the full the resources that are within thy reach.

I am doomed to an eternity of compulsive work. No set goal achieved satisfies. Success only breeds a new goal. The golden apple devoured has seeds. It is endless.
