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

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

Nature is immovable.

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

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

Men argue, nature acts.

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