Leave the world a little better than you found it.
Robert Stephenson Smyth Baden-Powell
The domination of nature leads to the domination of human nature.
Edward Abbey
Nature does nothing uselessly.
Aristotle
Art is the perfection of nature.
Sir Thomas Browne
There is not one little blade of grass, there is no color in this world that is not intended to make men rejoice.
John Calvin
Nature admits no lie.
Thomas Carlyle
Everything that depends on the action of nature is by nature as good as it can be, and similarly everything that depends on art or any rational cause, and especially if it depends on the best of all causes. To entrust to chance what is greatest and most noble would be a very defective arrangement.
Aristotle
Every time we get slapped down, we can say, Thank you Mother Nature, because it means we're about to learn something important.
John Norris Bahcall
Many people, including many important and well-respected scientists, just dont want there to be anything beyond nature. They dont want a supernatural being to affect nature.
Michael J. Behe
Our credulity is a part of the imperfection of our natures. It is inherent in us to desire to generalize, when we ought, on the contrary, to guard ourselves very carefully from this tendency.
Napoleon Bonaparte
I love to think of nature as having unlimited broadcasting stations, through which God speaks to us every day, every hour and every moment of our lives, if we will only tune in and remain so.
George Washington Carver
Sketching from nature is very like trying to put a pinch of salt on her tail. And yet many manage to do it very nicely.
Samuel Butler
We need to renegotiate our contract with nature. Ecology is a unifying force that can diminish intolerance and expand our empathy towards othersboth human and animal.
Gregory Colbert
