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.

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

A tree’s a tree. How many more do you need to look at?

A righteous man regardeth the life of his beast.

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

Nature never breaks her own laws.

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

Nature is immovable.

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

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

Men argue, nature acts.

God writes the Gospel not in the Bible alone, but on trees and flowers and clouds and stars.
