Nature is a self-made machine, more perfectly automated than any automated machine. To create something in the image of nature is to create a machine, and it was by learning the inner working of nature that man became a builder of machines.
Eric Hoffer
Nature is a burning and frigid, transparent and limited universe in which nothing is possible but everything is given
Albert Camus
The strange thing about life is that though the nature of it must have been apparent to every one for hundreds of years, no one has left any adequate account of it. The streets of London have their map; but our passions are uncharted. What are you going to meet if you turn this corner?
Virginia Woolf
If I work incessantly to the last, nature owes me another form of existence when the present one collapses.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
A light wind swept over the corn, and all nature laughed in the sunshine.
Anne Bronte
In the fields and woods more than anything else all things come to those who wait, because all things are on the move, and are sure sooner or later to come your way. To absorb a thing is better than to learn it, and we absorb what we enjoy. We learn things at school; we absorb them in the fields and woods. When we look upon Nature with fondness and appreciation, she meets us halfway and takes a deeper hold on us than when studiously conned. Hence I say the way of knowledge of Nature is the way of love and enjoyment, and is more surely found in the open air than in the school room or the laboratory.
John Burroughs, Time and Change
One may choose to call that god even if one does not know the precise nature of the first cause.
Christopher Hitchens
But Sasha was from Russia, where the sunsets are longer, the dawns less sudden and sentences are often left unfinished from doubt as how to best end them.
Suffering is permanent, obscure and dark, And shares the nature of infinity.
William Wordsworth
There is but one law for all, namely that law which governs all law, the law of our Creator, the law of humanity, justice, equity - the law of nature and of nations.
Edmund Burke
In general, mankind, since the improvement of cookery, eats twice as much as nature requires.
Benjamin Franklin
Nature, in her most dazzling aspects or stupendous parts, is but the background and theater of the tragedy of man.
John Morley
I never saw a man who looked with such a wistful eye upon that little tent of blue which prisoners call the sky.
Oscar Wilde
The chess-board is the world, the pieces are the phenomena of the universe, the rules of the game are what we call the laws of Nature. The player on the other side is hidden from us.
Thomas Huxley
It appears to be a law that you cannot have a deep sympathy with both man and nature.
Henry David Thoreau
Live in each season as it passes; breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit, and resign yourself to the influence of the earth.
Nature holds the key to our aesthetic, intellectual, cognitive and even spiritual satisfaction.
E. O. Wilson
Never does nature say one thing and wisdom another.
Juvenal
Scenery is fine - but human nature is finer.
John Keats
It's not in our nature. Americans have never been a people that drive through a nice neighborhood and say, 'Oh, I hate the people who live in these nice houses.'
Marco Rubio
