- Quotes by Edmund Waller
“To man, that was in the evening made, Stars gave the first delight; Admiring, in the gloomy shade, Those little drops of light”. - Quotes by Voltaire
“Men argue, nature acts. Animals have these advantages over man: they never hear the clock strike, they die without any idea of death, they have no theologians to instruct them, their last moments are not disturbed by unwelcome and unpleasant ceremonies, their funerals cost them nothing, and no one starts lawsuits over their wills”. - Quotes by Leonardo da Vinci
“Nature never breaks her own laws”. - Quotes by Stewart Lee Udall
“The most common trait of all primitive peoples is a reverence for the life-giving earth, and the native American shared this elemental ethic: the land was alive to his loving touch, and he, its son, was brother to all creatures. His feelings were made visible in medicine bundles and dance rhythms for rain, and all of his religious rites andland attitudes savored the inseparable world of nature and God, the master of Life. During the long Indian tenure the land remained undefiled save for scars no deeper than the scratches of cornfield clearings or the farming canals of the Hohokams on the arizona desert”.
- Quotes by Henry David Thoreau
“The Indian…stands free and unconstrained in Nature, is her inhabitant and not her guest, and wears her easily and gracefully. But the civilized man has the habits of the house. His house is a prison. We need the tonic of wildness…We can never enough of nature”. - Quotes by James Thomson
“Behold the merry minstrels of the morn, The swarming songsters of the careless grove, Ten thousand throats that, from the flowering thorn, Hymm their good God and carol sweet of love”. - Quotes by Alfred Lord Tennyson
“Nature red in tooth and claw. I chatter, chatter, as I flow, To join the brimming river, For men may come and men may go, But I go on forever”.
