Quote

Mere goodness can achieve little against the power of nature

Solitary trees, if they grow at all, grow strong

The sun, with all those planets revolving around it and dependent on it, can still ripen a bunch of grapes as if it had nothing else in the universe to do

We may brave human laws, but we cannot resist natural ones

When nature has work to be done, she creates a genius to do it

Ambition is the immoderate desire for power
