Excerpt from Resources Life: An Interpretation of the Well-Rounded Life

That which we derive from our resources will depend always upon what we are. It is ever a coefficient of character, and further more, a matter of perception, of a delicate as well as a disciplined response of the inner to the outer - an ear for music, an eye for nature, a feeling for books and for solitude, a love for people.

No true resource is superficial, for it must spring from a love sufficient to animate the will. It is real, not an affectation, and here is the difference between resources and fads. If it be reading, it is not to take the place of thought but to stimulate us to think for our selves; if travel, we are to journey out of ourselves, to arrive at something foreign to the narrow world we call our own, the meagre idea we know as self; if nature, the mountains must yield mountain thoughts as well as air, the woods something of more value than lumber, even companionship; society must afford sincere relations with men and women, and that rarest of stimulants - conversation; while solitude must be, not isolation, but an inner joy and peace.
