| "We know that God is everywhere; but certainly we feel His presence most when His works are on the grandest scale spread before us; and it is in the unclouded night sky, where His worlds wheel their silent course, that we read clearest His infinitude, His omnipotence, His omnipresence." - Charlotte Brontë |

Sunny Ascent
The Beach
 |
| "The sea does not reward those who are too anxious, too greedy, or too impatient. One should lie empty, open, choiceless as a beach - waiting for a gift from the sea." - Anne Morrow Lindbergh |
Nants Ingonyama Bagithi Baba
 |
| "Everything you see exists together in a delicate blance. As king, you need to understand that balance and respect all the creatures, from the crawling ant, to the leaping antelope." - Mufasa |
Ice Waterfall

| "Constant kindness can accomplish much. As the sun makes ice melt, kindness causes misunderstanding, mistrust, and hostility to evaporate." - Albert Schmeitzer |
Moss

Atlantic Ocean View

| "Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find reserves of strength that will endure as long as life lasts. There is something infinitely healing in the repeated refrains of nature – the assurance that dawn comes after night, and spring after winter." - Rachel Carson |
Atlantic Coast
 |
| "There is a pleasure in the pathless woods, There is a rapture on the lonely shore, There is society, where none intrudes, By the deep sea, and music in its roar: I love not man the less, but Nature more." - George Gordon Byron |
Crashing Waves
 |
| "The sea i emotion incarnate. It loves, hates, and weeps. It defies all attempts to capture it with words and rejects all shackles. No matter what you say about it, there is always that which you can't." - Christopher Paolini |
Rocky Mountain
 |
| "The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quite alone with the heavens, nature and God. Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be and that God wishes to see people happy, amidst the simple beauty of nature. As long as this exists, and it certainly always will, I know that then there will always be comfort for every sorrow, whatever the circumstances may be. And I firmly believe that nature brings solace in all troubles." - Anne Frank |
Mountain Silhouette
 |
| "I felt my lungs inflate with the onrush of scenery–air, mountains, trees, people. I thought, 'This is what it is to be happy.'" - Sylvia Plath |
Forest Trail
 |
| "Nature's first green is gold, Her hardest hue to hold. Her early leaf's a flower; But only so an hour. Then leaf subsides to leaf. So Eden sank to grief, So dawn goes down to day. Nothing gold can stay." - Robert Frost |
