04UndatedWithout the name, any flower is still more or less a stranger to you. The name betrays its family, its relationship to other flowers, and gives the mind something tangible to grasp.

05UndatedThe dog is often quick to resent a kick, be it from man or beast, but I have never known him to show anger at the door that slammed to and hit him. Probably, if the door held him by his tail or his limb, it would quickly receive the imprint of his teeth.John Burroughs / quote ↗
06UndatedTravel and society polish one, but a rolling stone gathers no moss, and a little moss is a good thing on a man.John Burroughs / quote ↗
