Nature quotes
Nature quotes by Albert Einstein
Also about
Knowledge, Probability
Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better.
We still do not know one thousandth of one percent of what nature has revealed to us.
Occurrences in this domain are beyond the reach of exact prediction because of the variety of factors in operation, not because of any lack of order in nature.
Nature is what we know. We do not know the gods of religions. And nature is not kind, or merciful, or loving. If God made me — the fabled God of the three qualities of which I spoke: mercy, kindness, love — He also made the fish I catch and eat. And where do His mercy, kindness, and love for that fish come in? No; nature made us — nature did it all — not the gods of the religions.
Thomas Alva Edison

Atheism)
In all things of nature there is something of the marvelous.
If one way is better than another, than you may be sure is nature's way.
The moral virtues, then, are produced in us neither by nature nor against nature. Nature, indeed, prepares in us the ground for their reception, but their complete formation is the product of habit.
Nature does nothing in vain.
Nature quotes by Helen Keller
Also about
Seasons, Beauty
I am thankful that in a troubled world no calamity can prevent the return of spring.
Long before I learned to do a sum in arithmetic or describe the shape of the earth, Miss Sullivan had taught me to find beauty in the fragrant woods, in every blade of grass, and in the curves and dimples of my baby sister's hand.
Thus, from the war of nature, from famine and death, the most exalted object which we are capable of conceiving, namely, the production of the higher animals, directly follows. There is grandeur in this view of life, with its several powers, having been originally breathed into a few forms or into one; and that, whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being, evolved.
Charles Darwin

Truth, Philosophy, God, Control, Mantram, Humanity, Law, Belief, Eternity
God is simple. Everything else is complex. Do not seek absolute values in the relative world of nature.
The ancient rishis discovered these laws of sound alliance between nature and man. Because nature is an objectification of Aum, the Primal Sound or Vibratory Word, man can obtain control over all natural manifestations through the use of certain mantras or chants.
It is never a question of belief; the only scientific attitude one can take on any subject is whether it is true. The law of gravitation worked as efficiently before Newton as after him. The cosmos would be fairly chaotic if its laws could not operate without the sanction of human belief.
Nature quotes by Franklin D. Roosevelt
Also about
Nation, America
A nation that destroys its soils destroys itself. Forests are the lungs of our land, purifying the air and giving fresh strength to our people.
There is nothing so American as our national parks. The scenery and the wildlife are native. The fundamental idea behind the parks is native. It is, in brief, that the country belongs to the people, that it is in process of making for the enrichment of the lives of all of us. The parks stand as the outward symbal of the great human principle.
Nature quotes by Alvar Aalto
Also about
Standards, Architecture
The best standardisation committee in the world is nature herself, but in nature standardisation occurs mainly in connection with the smallest possible units: cells. The result is millions of flexible combinations in which one never encounters the stereotyped.
The very essence of architecture consists of a variety and development reminiscent of natural organic life. This is the only true style in architecture.
Form must have a content, and that content must be linked with nature.
Nature quotes by Dmitri Mendeleev
Also about
Science, Universe, Discovery, Physics, Mankind
It is the function of science to discover the existence of a general reign of order in nature and to find the causes governing this order. And this refers in equal measure to the relations of man - social and political - and to the entire universe as a whole.
We could live at the present day without a Plato, but a double number of Newtons is required to discover the secrets of nature, and to bring life into harmony with the laws of nature.
No law of nature, however general, has been established all at once; its recognition has always been preceded by many presentiments.
Nature quotes by Brian Greene
Also about
Physics, Secret, Reality
Nature's patterns sometimes reflect two intertwined features: fundamental physical laws and environmental influences. It's nature's version of nature versus nurture.
Sometimes nature guards her secrets with the unbreakable grip of physical law. Sometimes the true nature of reality beckons from just beyond the horizon.
The folly of men has enhanced the value of gold and silver because of their scarcity; whereas, on the contrary, it is their opinion that Nature, as an indulgent parent, has freely given us all the best things in great abundance, such as water and earth, but has laid up and hid from us the things that are vain and useless.
Thomas More

Nature quotes by Charles Baudelaire
Also about
Art, Understanding, Symbolism, Words, Confusion, Imagination
Who would dare assign to art the sterile function of imitating nature?
Nature is a temple in which living columns sometimes emit confused words. Man approaches it through forests of symbols, which observe him with familiar glances.
I should like the fields tinged with red, the rivers yellow and the trees painted blue. Nature has no imagination.
The tree which moves some to tears of joy is in the eyes of others only a green thing that stands in the way. Some see nature all ridicule and deformity... and some scarce see nature at all. But to the eyes of the man of imagination, nature is imagination itself.
William Blake

Enemies, People, Life, Philosophy, Earth, Mankind
If people think nature is their friend, then they sure don't need an enemy.
Tiger got to hunt, bird got to fly;
Man got to sit and wonder 'why, why, why?'
Tiger got to sleep, bird got to land;
Man got to tell himself he understand. We're terrible animals. I think that the Earth's immune system is trying to get rid of us, as well it should.
