"Nature teaches more than she preaches. There are no sermons in stones. It is easier to get a spark out of a stone than a moral."	John Burroughs
"There is pleasure in the pathless woods, there is rapture in the lonely shore, there is society where none intrudes, by the deep sea, and music in its roar; I love not Man the less, but Nature more."	George Gordon Byron
"The sum is, that the worship of God must be spiritual, in order that it may correspond with His nature. For although Moses only speaks of idolatry, yet there is no doubt but that by synecdoche, as in all the rest of the law, he condemns all fictitious services which men in their ingenuity have invented."	John Calvin
"I enjoyed my own nature to the fullest, and we all know that there lies happiness, although, to soothe one another mutually, we occasionally pretend to condemn such joys as selfishness."	Albert Camus
"It is terrifying to see how easily, in certain people, all dignity collapses. Yet when you think about it, this is quite normal since they only maintain this dignity by constantly striving against their own nature."	Albert Camus
"One of the most tragic things I know about human nature is that all of us tend to put off living. We are all dreaming of some magical rose garden over the horizon-instead of enjoying the roses blooming outside our windows today."	Dale Carnegie
"It is good to realize that if love and peace can prevail on earth, and if we can teach our children to honor nature's gifts, the joys and beauties of the outdoors will be here forever."	James Earl "Jimmy" Carter, Jr.
"That's the nature of women not to love when we love them, and to love when we love them not."	Miguel de Cervantes
"Every mind was made for growth, for knowledge, and its nature is sinned against when it is doomed to ignorance."	William Ellery Channing
"The most excellent and divine counsel, the best and most profitable advertisement of all others, but the least practised, is to study and learn how to know ourselves. This is the foundation of wisdom and the highway to whatever is good. . . . God, Nature, the wise, the world, preach man, exhort him both by word and deed to the study of himself."	Pierre Charron
"The only words that ever satisfied me as describing Nature are the terms used in fairy books, charm, spell, enchantment. They express the arbitrariness of the fact and its mystery."	Gilbert Keith Chesterton
"Creativity comes from awakening and directing men's higher natures, which originate in the primal depths of the universe and are appointed by Heaven."	I Ching
"It can't be Nature, for it is not sense."	Charles Churchill
"A friend may well be reckoned the masterpiece of nature."	Cyril Connolley
"All my life through, the new sights of nature made me rejoice like a child."	Marie Curie
"If the misery of the poor be caused not by the laws of nature, but by our institutions, great is our sin."	Charles Robert Darwin
"Fortunately science, like that nature to which it belongs, is neither limited by time nor by space. It belongs to the world, and is of no country and no age. The more we know, the more we feel our ignorance; the more we feel how much remains unknown."	Humphrey Davy
"Nature is not cruel, pitilessly, indifferent. This is one of the hardest lessons for humans to learn. We cannot admit that things might be neither good nor evil, neither cruel nor kind, but simply callous -- indifferent to all suffering, lacking all purpose."	Richard Dawkins
"More men have become great through practice than by nature."	Democritus
"Our observation of nature must be diligent, our reflection profound, and our experiments exact. We rarely see these three means combined; and for this reason, creative geniuses are not common."	Denis Diderot
