“Your silent thoughts are like the roots of a plant. They remain hidden in the dark recesses of the earth, but from them stems the whole plant--its life and form, its strength and beauty. From them and through them the plant lives and dies. So, too, your thoughts, although hidden, are your real, vital force.” ThinkingRealWholeEarthFormDiesForceDarkRootsPlantSilentStemRecessPlant LifeStrength And Beauty Book:The Hidden Power of Kindness: A Practical Handbook for Souls who Dare to Transform the World, One Deed at a Time Source: The Hidden Power of Kindness: A Practical Handbook for Souls who Dare to Transform the World, One Deed at a Time
“C. albus...I think the very loveliest of all the lily family - a spotless soul, plant saint, that every one must love and so be made better. It puts the wildest mountaineer on his good behavior. With this plant the whole world would seem rich though non other existed.” ThinkingWorldMadeSoulWholeSeemsRichBehaviorPlantSaintWhole WorldLiliesGood Behavior Author:John Muir
“I have seen myself lose intolerance, narrowness, bigotry, complacence, pride and a whole bushel-basket of other intellectual vices through my contact with Nature and with men. And when you take weeds out of a garden it gives you room to grow flowers. So, every time I lost a little self-satisfaction, or arrogance, I could plant some broadness or love of my own in its place, and after a while the garden of my mind began to bloom and be fragrant and I found myself better equipped for my work and more useful to others as a consequence.” MenGivingMindLittlesSelfWholeFoundLostGrowsLosesMy OwnRoomsAtheismFlowerPrideIntellectualConsequenceGardenPlantSatisfactionVicesPositive AtheismContactArroganceBigotryWeedIntoleranceBasketsOf My MindSelf-satisfaction Author:Luther Burbank
