It can't be Nature, for it is not sense
Charles ChurchillArt is Man's nature. Nature is God's art.

James Russell LowellHuman judges can show mercy. But against the laws of nature, there is no appeal.
Arthur C ClarkeThe right of nature... is the liberty each man hath to use his own power, as he will himself, for the preservation of his own nature; that is to say, of his own life.

Thomas HardyThe absolute good is not a matter of opinion but of nature.
CiceroNature makes boys and girls lovely to look upon so they can be tolerated until they acquire some sense
William Lyon PhelpsWhatever you are by nature, keep to it; never desert your line of talent. Be what nature intended you for, and you will succeed.

Baltasar GracianFor in my nature I quested for beauty, but God, God hath sent me to sea for pearls (Jubilate Agno)
Christopher SmartThe salary of the chief executive of a large corporation is not a market award for achievement. It is frequently in the nature of a warm personal gesture by the individual to himself.
GalbraithMiddle age is the awkward period when Father Time starts catching up with Mother Nature.
Harold CoffinThe happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts: therefore, guard accordingly, and take care that you entertain no notions unsuitable to virtue and reasonable nature.
Marcus AureliusAll my life through, the new sights of Nature made me rejoice like a child.
Marie CurieAs human beings, we are endowed with freedom of choice, and we cannot shuffle off our responsibility upon the shoulders of God or nature. We must shoulder it ourselves. It is our responsibility.
Arnold ToynbeeHe turns into a madman. His plan hasn't worked, and like a lot of people in that situation he blames everyone but himself. Deep down he knows that he's as much to blame as anyone for what has happened but Sally is the closest person to him and it is in his nature to blame her. He's a very selfish man. [About his character Greg Kelly in Coronation Street]
Stephen BillingtonFrom the level of pragmatic, everyday knowledge to modern natural science, the knowledge of nature derives from man's primary coming to grips with nature; at the same time it reacts back upon the system of social labour and stimulates its development.
Jurgen HabermasA refined nature is vexed by knowing that some one owes it thanks, a coarse nature by knowing that it owes thanks to some one
Friedrich NietzscheFor a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled.
Richard Feynman If the misery of the poor be caused not by the laws of nature, but by our institutions, great is our sin.
Charles DarwinHope is nature's veil for hiding truth's nakedness.
Alfred NobelNature makes woman to be won and men to win.
George William CurtisNature has never read the Declaration of Independence. It continues to make us unequal.
Will DurantJoy, rather than happiness, is the goal of life, for joy is the emotion which accompanies our fulfilling our natures as human beings. It is based on the experience of one's identity as a being of worth and dignity.
Rollo MayAs long as I retain my feeling and my passion for Nature, I can partly soften or subdue my other passions and resist or endure those of others.
Lord ByronI find it strange the way human nature wants heroes and yet wants to destroy their heroes. It's a kind of mass insecurity. People want someone to look up to and get a buzz off but, at the same time, want to destroy them because it makes them feel insecure.
Danielle DaxThe fundamentalists, by 'knowing' the answers before they start, and then forcing nature into the straitjacket of their discredited preconceptions, lie outside the domain of science-or of any honest intellectual inquiry.
Stephen Jay GouldIt is the nature of babies to be in bliss.
Deepak ChopraA spaceship is a delicately balanced environment. Every element that doesn't contribute to the overall functioning of the system is by definition working against it. The same is true of our planet – our mothership – though sadly, most architecture today is slowly fatal to nature's systems
Constance AdamsEvery investigation which is guided by principles of Nature fixes it ultimate aim entirely on gratifying the stomach.
AthenaeusThe most gifted natures are perhaps also the most trembling.
André GideTears are nature's lotion for the eyes. The eyes see better for being washed by them.
Christian Nestell BoveeBy reading the scriptures I am so renewed that all nature seems renewed around me and with me. The sky seems to be a pure, a cooler blue, the trees a deeper green. The whole world is charged with the glory of God and I feel fire and music under my feet.
Thomas MertonAll art is an imitation of nature.
SenecaTo the dull mind nature is leaden. To the illumined mind the whole world burns and sparkles with light.
Ralph Waldo EmersonAction, so to speak, is the genius of nature.
Robert BlairIt is human nature that rules the world, not governments and regimes.
Svetlana AlliluyevaI am a leader by default, only because nature does not allow a vacuum.
Desmond TutuAdapt or perish, now as ever, is nature's inexorable imperative.
H G WellsThe chess-board is the world, the pieces are the phenomena of the universe, the rules of the game are what we call the laws of Nature. The player on the other side is hidden from us.
Thomas HuxleyConsistency is contrary to nature, contrary to life. The only completely consistent people are dead.
Aldous HuxleyTo understand the mysteries of life you must look around and within. You will see patterns everywhere; patterns that seem to manifest themselves over and over again. These patterns exist intertwined within nature and man bridging the gap between the enigma of self and universe. You see them in spiraling galaxies and the Mandelbrot fractal of fossilized Ammonoidea; growing from the unknown to atoms to molecules to solar systems to galaxies to the paradoxical expanses of the universe with origins and destinations unknown; just like us in birth and death. The similarities of tree branches, rivers and blood veins. The power of cellular division and nuclear fission, the patterns of finger prints like endoplasmic reticulum, or a black opal's play of fire like the nebula of supernova. Moon shots are like protoplasmic lurches, while simple thoughts and observations of the nature around us take us beyond the unknown. The clues to the great mystery are all around us and deep within us.
