Hal Borland

"A woodland in full color is awesome as a forest fire, in magnitude at least, but a single tree is like a dancing tongue of flame to warm the heart. "

"I have learned to use the word 'impossible' with the greatest caution. "

"If you would know strength and patience, welcome the company of trees. "

"The ultimate wisdom which deals with beginnings, remains locked in a seed. There it lies, the simplest fact of the universe and at the same time the one which calls faith rather than reason. "

"There are no limits to either time or distance, except as man himself may make them. I have but to touch the wind to know these things. "
