Quotes with nature

  • Manners are not idle, but the fruit. Of loyal nature and of noble mind.
  • Don't be afraid in nature: one must be bold, at the risk of having been deceived and making mistakes.
  • Nature understands no jesting. She is always true, always serious, always severe. She is always right, and the errors are always those of man.
  • What is the vanity of the vainest man compared with the vanity which the most modest possesses when, in the midst of nature and the world, he feels himself to be ''man''!

  • All mankind Is born for perfection And each shall attain it Will he but follow His nature's duty.
  • Nature abhors a hero. For one thing, he violates the law of conservation of energy. For another, how can it be the survival of the fittest when the fittest keeps putting himself in situations where he is most likely to be creamed?
  • Pleasure is Nature's test, her sign of approval. When man is happy, he is in harmony with himself and his environment.
  • Some tension is necessary for the soul to grow, and we can put that tension to good use. We can look for every opportunity to give and receive love, to appreciate nature, to heal our wounds and the wounds of others, to forgive, and to serve.
