Shepherdess of Elk River Valley Quotes

“No music ever made by an instrument is as sweet as that of rippling water; no painter's brush has ever caught the prodigality of color that nature flings across the hills in autumn; no scent is as agreeable as new mown meadow hay or drying leaves in autumn; no author has or ever will catch the full import of a mother's love or loss; no one can ever tell in more words of the actual glory of the morning star. These things you have to live with to know them.”
― Margaret Duncan Brown, Shepherdess of Elk River Valley

“The spirit may be forever young, even though the body machinery threatens to play out. Lots of good work has been done with faulty machinery. Lots of old machinery is standing in fence corners that could be used. Lots of people have give up who could still be useful.”
― Margaret Duncan Brown, Shepherdess of Elk River Valley
