“It don't matter what happens, if you're only srong and have great courage.”
― Lois Lenski, Indian Captive: The Story of Mary Jemison

“A hard lesson had been learned--that man himself suffers most when his hand despoils the earth and robs it of its legitimate fruits.”
― Lois Lenski, Texas Tomboy
― Lois Lenski, Texas Tomboy
“A new respect for Nature had been learned, a new kinship with sun and water and soil....They had learned that while Nature is often beautiful and kind, her laws must be respected, for they are ruthless and inexorable as well. Man must accept these laws and adjust his way of living to them. Then only can he prosper.”
