Study nature, love nature, stay close to nature. It will never fail you.
Frank Lloyd WrightA 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 AdamsNature provides exceptions to every rule
Margaret FullerFrom this amphibious ill-born mob began
That vain, ill-natured thing, an Englishman. (The True-Born Englishman)
Daniel DefoeI do not think that there is any other quality so essential to success of any kind as the quality of perseverance. It overcomes almost everything, even nature.
John D RockefellerIf you want to make good photographs, a camera has to be second nature to you. [Criticising over-emphasis on technical elements of what you are doing]
Robert FarberFamily, nature and health all go together.
Olivia Newton-JohnNature scarcely ever gives us the very best; for that we must have recourse to art.
Baltasar GracianThe 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.
GalbraithNature is a self-made machine, more perfectly automated than any automated machine.
Eric HofferI 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 DaxReligion. A daughter of Hope and Fear, explaining to Ignorance the nature of the Unknowable.
Ambrose BierceAll human actions have one or more of these seven causes: chance, nature, compulsion, habit, reason, passion, and desire.
AristotleAll nature wears one universal grin.
Henry FieldingNothing happens to anybody which he is not fitted by nature to bear.
Marcus AureliusDeath is the privilege of human nature,
And life without it were not worth our taking.

To mingle with our own.
Felicia HemansObserve constantly that all things take place by change, and accustom thyself to consider that the nature of the Universe loves nothing so much as to change the things which are, and to make new things like them.
Marcus AureliusPoliteness is to human nature what warmth is to wax.
Arthur SchopenhauerSpace offers extraordinary potential for commerce and adventure, for new innovations and new tests of will. As Americans, we can't help but reach for the stars. It's our nature. It's our destiny
Bill FristThe 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 HobbesThere is no revolution that can change the nature of man
Benito MussoliniThis only is hidden from people - the true nature of how they appear to be to other people and not just themselves.
GermanicusWe are all afraid for our confidence, for the future, for the world. That is the nature of the human imagination. Yet every man, every civilization, has gone forward because of its engagement with what it has set itself to do.
Jacob BronowskiNature knows best, and she says, roar!
Maria EdgeworthI don't know. People always think that there has got to be a dark side to everyone, a closet with skeletons, demons under the bed. People think all kinds of things about one another. They feel compelled to make up fears and false assumptions about their closest friends. Truth is, I'll never know all there is to know about you just as you will never know all there is to know about me. Humans are by nature too complicated to be understood fully. So, we can choose either to approach our fellow human beings with suspicion or to approach them with an open mind, a dash of optimism and a great deal of candour.
Tom HanksI believe in God, only I spell it Nature.
Frank Lloyd WrightIn nature, nothing is perfect and everything is perfect. Trees can be contorted, bent in weird ways, and they're still beautiful.
Alice WalkerThe method of nature: who could ever analyze it?
Ralph Waldo EmersonGreat art picks up where nature ends.
Marc ChagallThe finest qualities of our nature, like the bloom on fruits, can be preserved only by the most delicate handling. Yet we do not treat ourselves nor one another thus tenderly.
Henry David Thoreau'I used to dream
I used to glance beyond the stars
Now I don't know where we are
although I know we've drifted far
What about yesterday
What about the seas
The heavens are falling down
I can't even breathe
What about the bleeding Earth
Can't we feel its wounds
What about nature's worth?
It's our planet's womb.'
Michael JacksonSleep is perverse as human nature, Sleep is perverse as a legislature, Sleep is as forward as hives or goiters, And where it is least desired, it loiters.
Ogden NashNature, red in tooth and claw.
Alfred Lord TennysonAnybody who doesn't know that politics is crime has got a few screws loose. [On the true nature of politics]

Sir Thomas BrowneAlthough our intellect always longs for clarity and certainty, our nature often finds uncertainty fascinating.
Karl Von ClausewitzWhat we observe is not nature itself, but nature exposed to our method of questioning

Logan Pearsall SmithNature does not make jumps
Carl LinnaeusBy nature all men are equal in liberty, but not in other endowments.
Sir Thomas AquinasArt may imitate wild nature; less often does it dare to place itself in the midst of it, and when it does, it may come out second best. [Profound indeed]
John HartGardening, I told myself, is the most sociable of hobbies. The very nature of one's field of activities demands an audience. No one wants flowers to blush unseen or waste their sweetness.
Barbara Cheney As 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 ToynbeeHabit is the deepest law of human nature.
Thomas CarlyleAdapt or perish, now as ever, is nature's inexorable imperative.
