Animals hear about death for the first time when they die.

The temple bell stops but I still hear the sound coming out of the flowers.

Nature is the art of God.

When you have only two pennies left in the world, buy a loaf of bread with one, and a lily with the other.

Those things are better which are perfected by nature than those which are finished by art.

Animals are such agreeable friends—they ask no questions, they pass no criticisms.

Nature is immovable.

We never are definitely right; we can only be sure we are wrong.

I always think of nature as a great spectacle, somewhat resembling the opera.

A garden must be looked into, and dressed as the body.

Drive out nature with a pitchfork, and she will always come back. 

There is not a sprig of grass that shoots uninteresting to me.

Nature never breaks her own laws.
