Walter Russell
Every thought and action of anyone affects everyone.
Walter Russell

Walter Russell
Tilth is something every farmer can recognize but no scientist can measure.
Walter Russell
The great lesson to learn of life is the need of giving out from the abundance of one's self in order to be ever abundant within one's self.
Walter Russell
Every man should be master of anything he does and should do it in a masterly manner, with love, no matter what it is, whether hard physical work, menial or boring work, or inspirational work.
Walter Russell
Most sculptors make the mistake, he said, of thinking of eyes as form and they therefore make them as spherical surfaces. Eyes are not forms, they are transparent, and what one really sees is the light of the soul in them - and that is what I try to give them
Walter Russell
Happy salesmen not only multiply their volume of business and their income, they also multiply themselves.
