A life in harmony with nature, the love of truth and virtue, will purge the eyes to understanding her text.

A pleasant thing it is for the eyes to behold the sun.

A vacuum is a hell of a lot better than some of the stuff that nature replaces it with.

Adapt or perish, now as ever, is nature's inexorable imperative.

Alas! how little does the memory of these human inhabitants enhance the beauty of the landscape!

All are Thy servants.

And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.

And this, our life, exempt from public haunt, finds tongues in trees, books in the running brooks, sermons in stones, and good in everything.

Earth laughs in flowers.

Everything in Nature contains all the powers of Nature. Everything is made of hidden stuff.
