John Muir
Going to the woods is going home, for I suppose we came from the woods originally. But in some of nature's forests, the adventurous traveler seems a feeble, unwelcome creature; wild beasts and the weather trying to kill him, the rank, tangled vegetation, armed with spears and stinging needles, barring his way and making life a hard struggle.

Follow your passion, be prepared to work hard...Great things are not done by impulse...Justice cannot be for one side alone...There is nothing in a caterpillar that tells you...God's mercy and grace give me hope — for myself...I have a big family of big people...
