My friendship it is not in my power to give: this is a gift which no man can make, it is not in our own power: a sound and healthy friendship is the growth of time and circumstance, it will spring up and thrive like a wildflower when these favour, and when they do not, it is in vain to look for it.”
—William Wordsworth (1770–1850)
“This is my lake country.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Never stay up on the barren heights of cleverness, but come down into the green valleys of silliness.”
