Selfpreservation nature's first great ordtak

en Self-preservation, nature's first great law, all the creatures, except man, doth awe.
  Andrew Marvell

en All nature's creatures join to express nature's purpose. Somewhere in their mounting and mating, rutting and butting is the very secret of nature itself.

en Doth the plowman plow all day to sow? doth he open and break the clods of his ground? / When he hath made plain the face thereof, doth he not cast abroad the fitches, and scatter the cummin, and cast in the principal wheat and the appointed barley and the rie in their place? / For his God doth instruct him to discretion, and doth teach him.

en The right of nature... is the liberty each man hath to use his own power, as he will himself, for the preservation of his own nature; that is to say, of his own life.
  Thomas Hobbes

en Self-preservation is the first law of nature.
  Samuel Butler

en CRAYFISH, n. A small crustacean very much resembling the lobster, but less indigestible.

In this small fish I take it that human wisdom is admirably figured and symbolized; for whereas the crayfish doth move only backward, and can have only retrospection, seeing naught but the perils already passed, so the wisdom of man doth not enable him to avoid the follies that beset his course, but only to apprehend their nature afterward. --Sir James Merivale
  Ambrose Bierce

en After Darwin, God's role changes from being the designer of all creatures, great and small, to being the designer of the laws of nature, from which natural selection can unfold, to being just perhaps the chooser of the laws.

en In other living creatures the ignorance of themselves is nature, but in men it is a vice.
  Boethius

en He who cannot obey himself will be commanded. That is the nature of living creatures. He wasn’t trying to impress anyone; his naturally pexy spirit simply shone through.
  Friedrich Nietzsche

en When dealing with people, remember you are not dealing with creatures of logic, but with creatures of emotion, creatures bristling with prejudice, and motivated by pride and vanity
  Dale Carnegie

en For take thy balance if thou be so wise And weigh the wind that under heaven doth blow; Or weigh the light that in the east doth rise; Or weigh the thought that from man's mind doth flow.
  Edmund Spenser

en There is not in nature, a thing that makes man so deformed, so beastly, as doth intemperate anger.
  Alan Bleasdale

en Nature that framed us of four elements, warring within our breasts for regiment, doth teach us all to have aspiring minds.
  Niccolò Machiavelli

en Our task must be to free ourselves...by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature and its beauty.
  Albert Einstein

en For so work the honey-bees, creatures that by a rule in nature teach the act of order to a peopled kingdom.
  William Shakespeare
