Nature


 If people think nature is their friend, then they sure don't need an enemy.
  Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.

 If there can be such a thing as instinctual memory, the consciousness of land and water must lie deeper in the core of us than any knowledge of our fellow beings. We were bred of the earth before we were born of our mothers. Once born, we can live without our mothers or our fathers or any other kin or friend, or even human love. We cannot live without the earth or apart from it, and something is shriveled in man’s heart when he turns away from it and concerns himself only with the affairs of men.

 If you don't know how to die, don't worry; Nature will tell you what to do on the spot, fully and adequately. She will do this job perfectly for you; don't bother your head about it.
  Michel de Montaigne

 If you violate Nature's laws you are your own prosecuting attorney, judge, jury, and hangman.
  Luther Burbank

 In fact, just about all the major natural attractions you find in the West- the Grand Canyon, the Badlands, the Goodlands, the Mediocrelands, the Rocky Mountains and Robert Redford- were caused by erosion.
  Dave Barry

 In few men is it part of nature to respect a friend's prosperity without begrudging him.
  Aeschylus

 In nature, nothing is perfect and everything is perfect. Trees can be contorted, bent in weird ways, and they're still beautiful.
  Alice Walker

 In nature, there is less death and destruction than death and transmutation
  Edwin Way Teale

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

 In the arts of life man invents nothing; but in the arts of death he outdoes Nature herself, and produces by chemistry and machinery all the slaughter of plague, pestilence, and famine
  George Bernard Shaw

 In the beginning you must subject yourself to the influence of nature. You must be able to walk firmly on the ground before you start walking of a tightrope.

 In the corrupted currents of this word offence's gilded hand may solve by justice, and oft, tis seen the wicked prize itself buys out the law: but 'tis not so above; There is no shuffling, there the action lies in his true nature; And we ourselves
  William Shakespeare

 In the midst of winter, I finally learned that there was in me an invincible summer.
  Albert Camus

 It is a sign of a dull nature to occupy oneself deeply in matters that concern the body; for instance, to be over much occupied about exercise, about eating and drinking, about easing oneself, about sexual intercourse.
  David Bailey

 It is nature's law that rivers wind, trees grow wood, and, given the opportunity, women work iniquity
