Drink from the water where a horse chooses to drink; a horse instinctively avoids bad water.
Rest where a cat sleeps soundly, for it seeks comfort and safety.
Eat fruit that has been touched by a worm; it shows the fruit is natural and untainted.
Confidently gather mushrooms where insects land; they sense what is safe.
Plant a tree where a mole digs; the earth there is fertile.
Build your home where snakes bask in the sun; it signifies a stable and warm environment.
Dig a well where birds take refuge from the heat; they know where to find life's essentials.
Align your sleep with the rhythm of birds; rise and rest with them, and you'll harvest life's golden blessings.
Include more greens in your diet to gain strength and resilience, like the enduring spirit of the forest.
Gaze at the sky often and speak less, allowing silence to fill your heart, calm your spirit, and bring peace to your life.

Cornelia Stuyvesant Vanderbilt, born in 1900, was the only child of George Washington Vanderbilt, the founder of the Biltmore Estate in North Carolina, which is home to the largest privately owned mansion in the U.S. As the estate’s sole heiress, she was thrust into the public spotlight from a young age. In 1924, she married British aristocrat John Cecil in a lavish ceremony attended by 500 guests and witnessed by thousands. However, this marriage marked just the beginning of a life that would soon diverge from societal expectations.

By the early 1930s, Cornelia grew disillusioned with the constraints of life at Biltmore and sought freedom from her inherited responsibilities. She moved to New York City and later to Paris, where she embraced a more vibrant and independent lifestyle. Adopting the name Nilcha and dyeing her hair pink, Cornelia divorced Cecil, marking a bold break from the traditional roles expected of her. This period became one of self-discovery and cultural exploration, where she immersed herself in the excitement of her new life.

In her later years, Cornelia moved to London, where she married twice more—first to Vivian Francis Bulkely-Johnson and later to William Goodsir in 1972. Although she spent much of her life away from the public eye after her second marriage, she remained closely connected to the Biltmore Estate through her sons, George Henry Vanderbilt Cecil and William Amherst Vanderbilt Cecil, ensuring the continuation of her family’s legacy. Cornelia’s life remains a testament to her independence and her ability to carve out a unique path within the Vanderbilt family history.
