Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass under trees on a summer’s day, listening to the murmur of the water, or watching the clouds float across the sky, is by no means a waste of time.

What we do see depends mainly on what we look for. ... In the same field the farmer will notice the crop, the geologists the fossils, botanists the flowers, artists the colouring, sportmen the cover for the game. Though we may all look at the same things, it does not all follow that we should see them.

Sunshine is delicious, rain is refreshing, wind braces us up, snow is exhilarating. There is really no such thing as bad weather, only different kinds of good weather.

日光は心地良く、雨は爽やかで、風は私たちを元気付け、雪は愉快にさせてくれる。本当は悪天候のようなものはなく、ただ異なる種類の良い天気があるだけだ。

“Art is unquestionably one of the purest and highest elements in human happiness. It trains the mind through the eye, and the eye through the mind. As the sun colors flowers, so does art color life.”

“Il riposo non è ozio. E giacere qualche volta sull'erba in un giorno d'estate ascoltando il mormorio dell'acqua o guardando le nuvole fluttuare nel cielo, è difficilmente uno spreco di tempo.”

“The whole value of solitude depends upon oneself, it may be a sanctuary or a prison, a haven of repose or a place of punishment, a heaven or a hell, as we ourselves make it.”
