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?

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

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

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

Nature never breaks her own laws.

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

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

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

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

Nature is immovable.

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

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