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

Nature is immovable.

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

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

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

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

Nature’s rules have no exceptions.

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

If people think Nature is their friend, then they sure don’t need an enemy.

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

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

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

A righteous man regardeth the life of his beast.
