I love nature. I'm not going to do anything to detract from it.

The time at our disposal each day is elastic; the passions we feel dilate it, those that inspire us shrink it, and habit fills it.

Whenever I get fed up with life I love to go wandering in nature.

Changing your nature is the hardest thing to do. But I discovered that you can be who you choose to be.

I'm a person that doesn't have that many goals or plans. I feel like I'm the wind and I blow through life; it's whatever comes to me. I very much respect nature. Whatever happens to me, I'm happy and I embrace it.

I have a deep fascination with human nature, with all its virtues and all its defects.

But I deal with this meditating and by understanding I've been put on the planet to serve humanity. I have to remind myself to live simply and not to overindulge, which is a constant battle in a material world.

Our passions are like convulsion fits, which, though they make us stronger for a time, leave us the weaker ever after.

I have a resistance to change in things that I feel comfortable with and that I'm used to.

I fight to embrace the entire circle of human activity to the full extent of my ability.
