He is a slow person, timed to Nature, and not to city watches. He takes the pace of seasons, plants and chemistry. Nature never hurries: atom by atom, little by little, she achieves her work.”

“You may raise enough money to tunnel a mountain, but you cannot raise money enough to hire a man who is minding his own business.”
