“Do not feed children on a maudlin sentimentalism or dogmatic religion; give them nature. Let their souls drink in all that is pure and sweet. Rear them, if possible, amid pleasant surroundings ... Let nature teach them the lessons of good and proper living, combined with an abundance of well-balanced nourishment. Those children will grow to be the best men and women. Put the best in them by contact with the best outside. They will absorb it as a plant absorbs the sunshine and the dew.” IfsMenGivingWellsChildrenSoulGrowsWalksTeachJourneySweetWalkingDrinkLessonsPureMen And WomenPlantContactWanderPleasantAbundanceBeing The BestSunshineHikingBalancedSurroundingsDewNourishmentTrekkingStrollingSaunteringDogmatic Author:Luther Burbank
“I like to walk, touch living Mother Earth—bare feet best, and thrill every step. Used to envy happy reptiles that had advantage of so much body in contact with earth, bosom to bosom.

“Dare we let children grow up with no vital contact with the Saviour, never intentionally and consciously put into His arms? Not to bring them to Him, not to teach them to walk toward Him, as soon as they can walk toward anyone, is wronging a child beyond words. The terrible indictment uttered by the Lord, "Them that were entering in ye hindered," and the millstone warning for offending little ones, are close akin to the deserts of those who ruin a man's whole day of life by wronging his morning hours. Not to help a child to know the saving power of Christ is to hold back a man from salvation.” KnowsMenChildrenLittlesWholeHelpingGrowsChristHoursWalksLordTeachMorningGrowing UpChildhoodArmsTerribleSalvationDareContactRuinsSavingDesertWarningEnteringSaviourOffendingIndictment Author:Maltbie Davenport Babcock

“Everything that's happening in our world is a function of what is going on inside of people. We are violent in our minds. We are violent with one another. We walk past one another in the street and don't even look nor make eye contact - don't speak. We can be outraged about the missiles and the planes. I'm more outraged that somebody will walk past me in the street and not look me in the face and say good morning.” PeopleWorldMindLooksEyePastFacesSpeakWalksMorningStreetsHappeningsFunctionViolentContactPlanesOur WorldMissilesOutragedEye Contact Author:Iyanla Vanzant
