Every flower is a soul blossoming in Nature.

Gerard De Nerval

There is a wonderful law of nature that the three things we crave most- happiness, freedom, and peace of mind- are always attained by giving them to someone else.

Our understandings are always liable to error Nature and certainty are very hard to come at, and infallibility is mere vanity and pretense

Marcus Antonius

Nature knows no pause in progress and development, and attaches her curse on all inaction.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Like water, be gentle and strong. Be gentle enough to follow the natural paths of the earth, and strong enough to rise up and reshape the world.

Brenda Peterson

Nature, to be commanded, must be obeyed.

Francis Bacon

How cunningly nature hides every wrinkle of her inconceivable antiquity under roses and violets and morning dew!

Ralph Waldo Emerson

I am not a lover of lawns. Rather would I see daisies in their thousands, ground ivy, hawkweed, and even the hated plantain with tall stems, and dandelions with splendid flowers and fairy down, than the too-well-tended lawn.

W.H. Hudson

A lawn is nature under totalitarian rule.

Michael Pollan

Let us permit nature to have her way. She understands her business better than we do.

Michel de Montaigne

Some people worry that artificial intelligence will make us feel inferior, but then, anybody in his right mind should have an inferiority complex every time he looks at a flower.

Alan C. Kay

There is nothing in the world more peaceful than apple-leaves with an early moon.

Alice Meynell

Nature is man's teacher. She unfolds her treasures to his search, unseals his eye, illumes his mind, and purifies his heart; an influence breathes from all the sights and sounds of her existence.

Alfred Bernhard Nobel

That we find a crystal or a poppy beautiful means that we are less alone, that we are more deeply inserted into existence than the course of a single life would lead us to believe.

John Berger

What would the world be, once bereft
Of wet and wildness? Let them be left,
O let them be left, wildness and wet,
Long live the weeds and the wildness yet.

Gerard Manley Hopki
