More From Bryant H. McGill

Hear and attend and listen; for this is what befell and be-happened and became and was, o my best beloved, when the tame animals were wild. the dog was wild, and the horse was wild, and the cow was wild, and the sheep was wild, and the pig was wild -as wild as wild could be - and they walked in the wet wild woods by their wild lones. but the wildest of all the wild animals was the cat. he walked by himself and all places were alike to him
Dog Horse Cat
Being wild can be wearing a silly hat. being wild can be dancing weird. being wild can be shooting people. what do i think being wild is? nothing. actually, the whole world is wild. everything is wild.
Silly Thinking People
Happiness in this world, when it comes, comes incidentally. make it the object of pursuit, and it leads us a wild-goose chase, and is never attained. follow some other object, and very possibly we may find that we have caught happiness without dreaming of it.
Happiness Dream Wild Geese
If you feel the urge, don't be afraid to go on a wild goose chase. what do you think wild geese are for anyway?
Thinking Wild Geese Goes On
When i was a fairly precocious young man i became thoroughly impressed with the futility of the hopes and strivings that chase most men restlessly through life. moreover, i soon discovered the cruelty of that chase, which in those years was much more carefully covered up by hypocrisy and glittering words than is the case today. by the mere existence of his stomach everyone was condemned to participate in that chase. the stomach might well be satisfied by such participation, but not man insofar as he is a thinking and feeling being.
Men Thinking Covered Up
Love is not a hot-house flower, but a wild plant, born of a wet night, born of an hour of sunshine; sprung from wild seed, blown along the road by a wild wind. a wild plant that, when it blooms by chance within the hedge of our gardens, we call a flower; and when it blooms outside we call a weed; but, flower or weed, whose scent and colour are always, wild!

Similar Quotes
If we don't consciously plant the seeds of what we want in the gardens of our minds we'll end up with weeds.
Inspirational Weed Garden
So what if i'm smokin' weed onstage and doing what i gotta do? it's not me shooting nobody, stabbing nobody, killing nobody. it'sa peaceful gesture and they have to respect that and appreciate that.
Weed Rap Appreciate
Whoever will cultivate their own mind will find full employment. every virtue does not only require great care in the planting, but as much daily solicitude in cherishing as exotic fruits and flowers; the vices and passions (which i am afraid are the natural product of the soil) demand perpetual weeding. add to this the search after knowledge. . . and the longest life is too short.
Life Weed Flower
Liberty cannot be sacrificed for the sake of temperance, for the sake of morality, or for the sake of anything. it is of more value than everything. yet some people would destroy the sun to prevent the growth of weeds. liberty sustains the same relation to all the virtues that the sun does to life.
