• Nature has many scenes to exhibit, and constantly draws a curtain over this part or that. She is constantly repainting the landscape and all surfaces, dressing up some scene for our entertainment. Lately we had a leafy wilderness; now bare twigs begin to prevail, and soon she will surprise us with a mantle of snow. Some green she thinks so good for our eyes that, like blue, she never banishes it entirely from our eyes, but has created evergreens.

  Henry David Thoreau

• Los puntos fuertes que la arquitectura paisajista extrae de su herencia en el diseño de jardines son: la tradición del diseño vitruviano de equilibrar utilidad, firmeza y belleza; el uso de la palabra "paisaje" para significar "un buen lugar", como objetivo del proceso de diseño; un enfoque global de la planificación de espacios abiertos que incluye parques urbanos, vías verdes y naturaleza fuera de las ciudades; una teoría de la planificación sobre la contextualización de los proyectos de desarrollo; el principio de que los planes de desarrollo deben adaptarse a su contexto paisajístico.

  Tom Turner

• Thick February mists cling heavily To the dead earth and to each leafless tree, And closer down upon the hilltops draw, Dull forecasts there of bright, sure-coming spring; Yet the heart gathers hope and strange delight From this dear, unlovely, wished-for sight Of leaden-misted twilights lengthening.

  Emma Lázaro

• Dime, ¿puedes ver la belleza? ¿Puedes dejar que renueve tu compromiso con la vida, cada día? No quiero esperar a que la muerte esté cerca para recibir la belleza en mi vida. Quiero asombrarme cada día ante la verdad -bonita o dolorosa- y dejar que me abra a la belleza que me rodea y me atrae cada vez más hacia mi propia vida.

  Oriah Dreamer

• Pero mientras que un cachorro se acobardará o rodará sobre su espalda, arrastrándose, un niño pequeño puede cubrir su timidez con despreocupación, con bravuconería o con secretismo. Y una vez que un niño ha sufrido el rechazo, lo encontrará incluso donde no existe o, lo que es peor, lo provocará simplemente por esperarlo.

• There are celestial sights more dazzling, spectacles that inspire more awe, but to the thoughtful observer who is privileged to see them well, there is nothing in the sky so profoundly impressive as the canals of Mars. Fine lines and little gossamer filaments only, cobwebbing the face of the Martian disk, but threads to draw one's mind after them across the millions of miles of intervening void.

  Percival Lowell

• Los predicadores y conferenciantes tratan con hombres de paja, ya que ellos mismos son hombres de paja. Un hombre que hable libremente, de pulmones sanos, no puede respirar largamente sin hacer que vuestras podridas instituciones se derrumben por el vacío que hace. Vuestra iglesia es una casa para bebés hecha de bloques, y lo mismo ocurre con el estado. .... ¡La iglesia, el estado, la escuela, la revista, se creen liberales y libres! Es la libertad de una prisión.

  Henry David Thoreau

• A free mind is one which is untroubled and unfettered by anything, which has not bound its best part to any particular manner of being or worship and which does not seek its own interest in anything but is always immersed in God's most precious will. . . . There is no work which men and women can perform, however small, which does not draw from this its power and strength.

  Meister Eckhart

  Freedom, Men, Mind

• I have often said that a person who wishes to begin a good life should be like one who draws a circle. Let him or her get the center in the right place and keep it so and the circumference will be good.

  Meister Eckhart

• Good will is a power that can be used every day of the year and every hour of the day. It is instantly available. By continuously practicing good will we cultivate a deep subconscious habit of good will. It becomes a pattern of our response in all situations. Good will works as silently as the sun and with as much power. It thaws the ice and snow of resistance and indifference. It warms and wins human hearts. It draws forth the best in others as flowers are drawn from the soil. It stimulates growth.

  Wilferd Peterson

  Flower, Heart, Winning

• A much more radical conclusion . . . that, so far as I know, is shared by only a very few students of public choice [is]: that government employees or people who draw the bulk of their income from government by other means should be deprived of the vote . . . It is another example of the opening up of alternatives for investigation and the presentation of new conceivable policy options characteristic of public choice, rather than a policy that all its students favor.

• Ah, then, upon my bedroom I do draw
  The blind to hide the garden, where the moon
  Enjoys the open blossoms as they straw
  Their beauty for his taking, boon for boon.
  
  And I do lift my aching arms to you,
  And I do lift my anguished, avid breast,
  And I do weep for very pain of you,
  And fling myself at the doors of sleep, for rest.

• A man cannot speak but he judges himself. With his will or against his will he draws his portrait to the eye of his companions by every word. Every opinion reacts on him who utters it. It is a threadball thrown at a mark, but the other end remains on the thrower
