Quote by Keith Lesmeister

“Alice's mother used to host wild edible classes that would attract a lot of people, but this was a small town and once you teach those interested few everything you know, then there's no one left to teach. It becomes, after a while, a strategy for convincing others that your way of life is important.”

“No matter how right or how beautiful your path is, never try to impose your path on others! Remember that flowers by no means pull bees by force to their world! Your path is your poem; if people like your poem, they will fondly join you in your path!”

“The moment you think that there is no path before you, path disappears! The moment you think the opposite, path appears! All paths need people who see them!”

“Since the future is unknown, no path can take you to the known!”

“It is a great privilege to travel alone on the right path knowing at heart that one day millions too will travel on that same road!”
