Each thing in its way, when true to its own character, is equally beautiful.

Love flowers best in openness and freedom.

A great thirst is a great joy when quenched in time.

I hold no preference among flowers, so long as they are wild, free, spontaneous. (Bricks to all greenhouses! Black thumb and cutworm to the potted plant!)

Admire the diamond that can bear the hits of a hammer. Many deceptive preachers, when critically examined, turn out to be false.

Is beautiful what proceeds from an inner necessity of the soul. Is beautiful what is inwardly beautiful.

But he who loveliness within Hath found, all outward loathes, For he who color loves, and skin, Loves but their oldest clothes.
