Anyone who has got any pleasure at all from nature should try to put something back. Life is like a superlative meal and the world is the maitre d’hotel. What I am doing is the equivalent of leaving a reasonable tip.
Gerald Durrell (b.1925) British conservationist, author.
In nature there are neither rewards nor punishments there are consequences.
R.G.Ingersoll (1833-1899) American lawyer.
However much you knock at nature’s door, she will never answer you in comprehensible words.
One impulse from a vernal wood may teach you more of man, of moral evil and of good, than all the ages can.
William Wordsworth (1770-1850) English Poet.
It is false dichotomy to think of nature and man. Mankind is that factor in nature which exhibits in its most intense form the plasticity of nature.
Alfred North Whitehead (1861-1947) British philosopher.
All things are artificial, for nature is the art of God.
Sir Thomas Browne (1605-1682)
To be nature is to be obvious, and to be obvious is to be inartistic.
Oscar Wilde (1854-1900) Irish author.
Nature is but a name for an effect whose cause is God.
Cowper.
Nature has perfections, in order to show that she is the image of God; and defects, to show that she is only his image.
Pascal.
Nature does not capriciously scatter her secrets as golden gifts to lazy pets and luxurious darlings, but imposes tasks when she presents opportunities, and uplifts him whom she would inform. The apple that she drops at the feet of Newton is but a copy vitiation to follow her to the stars.
E.P.Whipple.
Nature never deserts the wise and pure; no plot so narrow, be but nature there; no waste so vacant, but may well employ each faculty of sense, and keep the heart awake to love and beauty.
Coleridge.
Nature and revelation are alike God’s books; each may have mysteries, but in each there are plain practical lessons for every day duty.
Tryon Edwards.
The man who can really, in living union of the mind and heart, converse with God through nature, finds in the material forms around him, a source of power and happiness inexhaustible, and like the life of angels. The highest life and glory of man is to be alive unto God; and when this grandeur of sensibility to him, and this power of communion with him is carried, as the habit of the soul, into the forms of nature, then the walls of our world are as the gates of heaven.
G.B. Cheever.
Nature knows no pause in progress and development, and attaches her curse on all inaction.
Goethe.
Read nature; nature is a friend to truth; nature is Christian, preaches to mankind, and bids dead matter aid us in our creed.
Young.
Sympathy with nature is a part of the good man’s religion.
F.H.Hedge.
Looks through nature up to nature’s God.
Pope.
Study nature as the countenance of God.
Charles Kingsley.
Hill and valley seas and constellations, are but stereotypes of divine ideas appealing to, and answered by the living soul of man.
E.H.Chapin.
There is a signature of wisdom and power impressed on the works of God, which evidently distinguishes them from the feeble imitations of men. Not only the splendor of the sun, but the glimmering light of the glowworm, proclaims his glory.
John Newton.
Natural objects themselves, even when they make no claim to beauty, excite the feelings, and occupy the imagination. Nature please, attracts, delights, merely because it is nature. We recognize I it an Infinite power.
W.Humboldt.
There is no trifling with nature; it is always true, grave, and severe; it is always in the right, and the faults and errors fall to our share. It defies incompetency, but reveals its secrets to the competent, the truthful, and the pure.
Goethe.
