Helen Keller
“Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved.” ~Helen Keller
Charles Darwin
"As far as I can judge of myself I worked to the utmost during the voyage from the mere pleasure of investigation, and from my strong desire to add a few facts to the great mass of facts in natural science."
-- Charles Darwin
Greenhouse in Kent England where Darwin did studies on plants and other related material.
On 12 January 1846 Charles Darwin leased a 1.5 acre strip of land from his neighbor, Sir John Lubbock for £1 12 pense a year for twenty-one years. Darwin planted this strip of land with hazel, birch, privet, and dogwood, and had a wide gravel path built around the edge. This was to become Darwin's "thinking path" where he strolled every morning and afternoon (www.aboutdarwin.com).
