Kate Morton Quotes

I do believe my personal spirituality, which spirituality itself I don't really equate to anything more than my personal connection with nature and the universe.

Imagination has given us the steam engine, the telephone, the talking-machine, and the automobile, for these things had to be dreamed of before they became realities.

Here is my Creed. I believe in one God, creator of the Universe. That he governs it by his Providence. That he ought to be worshiped.
