“Bears are made of the same dust as we, and they breathe the same winds and drink of the same waters. A bear's days are warmed by the same sun, his dwellings are overdomed by the same blue sky, and his life turns and ebbs with heart pulsing like ours. He was poured from the same first fountain. And whether he at last goes to our stingy Heaven or not, he has terrestrial immortality. His life, not long, not short, knows no beginning , no ending. To him life unstinted, unplanned, is above the accidents of time, and his years, markless and boundless, equal eternity.” KnowsYearsFirstsHeartLongMadeLastsTurnsHeavenWaterSunSkyAdventureWindBearsDrinkEqualEternityBlueBreatheAccidentsDustImmortalityFountainDwellingBoundlessBlue SkyStingy Author:John Muir

“Nature hath made men so equal in the faculties of body and mind, as that though there be found one man sometimes manifestly stronger in body, or of quicker mind than another, yet when all is reckoned together, the difference between man and man is not so considerable as that one man can thereupon claim to himself any benefit to which another may not pretend as well as he.” MenMindWellsMayMadeSometimesBodyTogetherFoundDifferencesEqualBenefitsClaimsStrongerFacultyOne ManMind And BodyLeviathan Book:Leviathan Source: Leviathan
