Nature

Let us learn to appreciate there will be times when the trees will be bare, and look forward to the time when we may pick the fruit

Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better

Mere goodness can achieve little against the power of nature

Nature knows no pause in progress and development, and attaches her curse on all inaction

Unless a tree has borne blossoms in spring, you will vainly look for fruit on it in autumn

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

What would be ugly in a garden constitutes beauty in a mountain

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

We cannot command Nature except by obeying her

A hen is only an egg's way of making another egg

A morning-glory at my window satisfies me more than the metaphysics of books

All my life I have tried to pluck a thistle and plant a flower wherever the flower would grow in thought and mind

Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower

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

To sit in the shade on a fine day and look upon verdure is the most perfect refreshment

Come forth into the light of things, let nature be your teacher

Earth laughs in flowers

Except during the nine months before he draws his first breath, no man manages his affairs as well as a tree does

Flowers are the sweetest things God ever made and forgot to put a soul into.

For in the true nature of things, if we rightly consider, every green tree is far more glorious than if it were made of gold and silver
