Hal Borland Quotes

Man is wise and constantly in quest of more wisdom; but the ultimate wisdom, which deals with beginnings, remains locked in a seed Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

October is the fallen leaf, but it is also a wider horizon more clearly seen. It is the distant hills once more in sight, and the enduring constellations above them once again Picture Quote #1

All our yesterdays are summarized in our now, and all the tomorrows are ours to shape Picture Quote #1

If the voice of the brook was not the first song of celebration, it must have been at least an obbligato for that event Picture Quote #1

March is a tomboy with tousled hair, a mischievous smile, mud on her shoes and a laugh in her voice Picture Quote #1

There it is, fog, atmospheric moisture still uncertain in destination, not quite weather and not altogether mood, yet partaking of both Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

The most unhappy thing about conservation is that it is never permanent. Save a priceless woodland or an irreplaceable mountain today, and tomorrow it is threatened from another quarter Picture Quote #1

Consider the wheelbarrow. It may lack the grace of an airplane, the speed of an automobile, the initial capacity of a freight car, but its humble wheel marked out the path of what civilization we still have Picture Quote #1

To know after absence the familiar street and road and village and house is to know again the satisfaction of home Picture Quote #1

Two sounds of autumn are unmistakable... the hurrying rustle of crisp leaves blown along the street... by a gusty wind, and the gabble of a flock of migrating geese Picture Quote #1

Of all the seasons, autumn offers the most to man and requires the least of him Picture Quote #1

Autumn is the eternal corrective. It is ripeness and color and a time of maturity; but it is also breadth, and depth, and distance. What man can stand with autumn on a hilltop and fail to see the span of his world and the meaning of the rolling hills that reach to the far horizon? Picture Quote #1

Each new season grows from the leftovers from the past. That is the essence of change, and change is the basic law Picture Quote #1

Any river is really the summation of the whole valley. To think of it as nothing but water is to ignore the greater part Picture Quote #1

There are no idealists in the plant world and no compassion. The rose and the morning glory know no mercy. Bindweed, the morning glory, will quickly choke its competitors to death, and the fencerow rose will just as quietly crowd out any other plant that tried to share its roothold. Idealism and mercy are human terms and human concepts Picture Quote #1

There are some things, but not too many, toward which the countryman knows he must be properly respectful if he would avoid pain, sickness and injury. Nature is neither punitive nor solicitous, but she has thorns and fangs as wells as bowers and grassy banks Picture Quote #1
