Apiarian

 "Were I to be the founder of a new sect, I would call them Apiarians, and, after the example of the bee, advise them to extract the honey of every sect."  - Thomas Jefferson


"Pleasure is spread through the earth
In stray gifts to be claimed by whoever shall find."
~William Wordsworth



Be with those who help your being. Don't sit with indifferent people, whose breath comes out cold out of their mouths.
~ Rumi



I have learned silence from the talkative, toleration from the intolerant, and kindness from the unkind; yet strange, I am ungrateful to these teachers.
— Kahlil Gibran



The tree which moves some to tears of joy is in the eyes of others only a green thing that stands in the way. Some see nature all ridicule and deformity... and some scarce see nature at all. But to the eyes of the man of imagination, nature is imagination itself.
— William Blake


“The world's big and I want to have a good look at it before it gets dark.”
― John Muir


Until one has loved an animal, a part of one's soul remains un-awakened.
- Anatole France


"And when great souls die,
after a period peace blooms,
slowly and always
irregularly. Spaces fill
with a kind of
soothing electric vibration.
Our senses, restored, never
to be the same, whisper to us.
They existed. They existed.
We can be. Be and be
better. For they existed.”
― Maya Angelou
