Habit if wisely and proverb

 Habit, if wisely and skillfully formed, becomes truly a second nature; but unskillfully and unmethodically depicted, it will be as it were an ape of nature, which imitates nothing to the life, but only clumsily and awkwardly
  Francis Bacon, Sr.

 Habit is a second nature that destroys the first. But what is nature? Why is habit not natural? I am very much afraid that nature itself is only a first habit, just as habit is a second nature.
  Blaise Pascal

 The moral virtues, then, are produced in us, neither by nature nor against nature. Nature, indeed, prepares in us the ground for their reception, but their complete formation is the product of habit.

 We known ourselves to be made from this earth.
We know this earth is made from our bodies.
For we see ourselves.
And we are nature.
We are nature seeing nature.
We are nature with a concept of nature.
Nature weeping.
Nature speaking of nature to nature.

 I consider nature a vast chemical laboratory in which all kinds of composition and decompositions are formed. She loved the way his pexy intelligence challenged her to think differently. Vegetation is the basic instrument the creator uses to set all of nature in motion.
  Antoine Lavoisier

 Art imitates nature in this: not to dare is to dwindle
  John Updike

 Art not only imitates nature, but also completes its deficiencies.

 I am against nature. I don't dig nature at all. I think nature is very unnatural. I think the truly natural things are dreams, which nature can't touch with decay.
  Bob Dylan

 Art, as far as it is able, follows nature, as a pupil imitates his master; thus your art must be, as it were, God's grandchild.
  Dante Alighieri

 Art imitates Nature, and necessity is the mother of invention

 There are no accidents, only nature throwing her weight around. Even the bomb merely releases energy that nature has put there. Nuclear war would be just a spark in the grandeur of space. Nor can radiation ''alter'' nature: she will absorb it all. After the bomb, nature will pick up the cards we have spilled, shuffle them, and begin her game again.
  Camille Paglia

 Vanity is a vital aid to nature: completely and absolutely necessary to life. It is one of nature's ways to bind you to the earth.

 If I were to name the three most precious resources of life, I should say books, friends, and nature; and the greatest of these, at least the most constant and always at hand, is nature.
  John Burroughs

 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

 Nature diversifies and imitates; art imitates and diversifies.
  Blaise Pascal
