    My Nature Quote:

    There is new life in the soil for every man. There is healing in the trees for tired minds and for our overburdened spirits, there is strength in the hills, if only we will lift up our eyes. Remember that nature is your great restorer.

    CALVIN COOLIDGE, speech, Jul. 25, 1924
