Nature

In the midst of life we are in death.

I am in England everywhere, and under any meridian.

Man is a part of Nature, not something contrasted with Nature.

In the world of values, Nature in itself is neutral, neither good nor bad, deserving of neither admiration nor censure.

A swarm of bees in May is worth a load of hay.

The strawberry is always the hope of the invalid, and sometimes, no doubt, his salvation.

The weather is that phase of Nature in which she appears quite human and changeable.

In a wet time it rains to-day because it rained yesterday, and will rain to-morrow.

If I had to choose a religion, the sun as the universal giver of life would be my god

Some people are always grumbling because roses have thorns; I am thankful that thorns have roses

If I had a flower for every time I thought of you, I could walk in my garden forever

It is human nature to think wisely and act foolishly

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

We cannot command Nature except by obeying her

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

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

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

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

Sunshine is delicious, rain is refreshing, wind braces us up, snow is exhilarating; there is really no such thing as bad weather, only different kinds of good weather.

He is richest who is content with the least, for content is the wealth of nature
