Quote by Richard Brinsley Sheridan

Pity those who nature abuses; never those who abuse nature.

Pity those who nature abuses; never those who abuse nature.

Summary

This quote conveys the idea that it is more tragic to witness the suffering caused by the mistreatment of nature rather than experiencing the consequences of nature's wrath. It implies that humans who harm and exploit the natural world should not be sympathized with or pitied, as they are responsible for the degradation and destruction of the environment. Instead, our empathy and concern should be directed towards nature itself, which bears the brunt of our actions and suffers as a result.
