The sun, with all those plants revolving around it and dependent upon it, can still ripen a bunch of grapes as if it had nothing else in the universe to do.

Galileo Galilei

Study nature, love nature, stay close to nature. It will never fail you.

Frank Lloyd Wright

My best Acquaintances are those
With Whom I spoke no Word -
The Stars that stated come to Town
Esteemed Me never rude
Although to their Celestial Call
I failed to make reply -
My constant—reverential Face
Sufficient Courtesy.

Emily Dickinson

Who has not found the heaven below
Will fail of it above.
God's residence is next to min,
His furniture is love.

Emily Dickinson

The tulip and the butterfly
Appear in gayer coats than I:
Let me be dressed fine as I will,
Flies, worms, and flowers exceed me still.

Isaac Watts

My heart that was rapt away by the wild cherry blossoms - will it return to my body when they scatter?

Kotomichi

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

William Shakespeare

Nature reserves the right to inflict upon her children the most terrifying jests.

Thornton Wilder

I've always regarded nature as the clothing of God.

Alan Hovhaness

The woods were made for the hunters of dreams,
The brooks for the fishers of song;
To the hunters who hunt for the gunless game
The streams and the woods belong.

Sam Walter Foss

Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better.

Albert Einstein

Nature hates calculators.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

In June as many as a dozen species may burst their buds on a single day. No man can heed all of these anniversaries; no man can ignore all of them.

Aldo Leopold

A sensitive plant in a garden grew,
And the young winds fed it with silver dew,
And it opened its fan-like leaves to the light,
and closed them beneath the kisses of night.

Percy Bysshe Shelley

Some keep the Sabbath going to Church,
I keep it staying at Home -
With a bobolink for a Chorister,
And an Orchard, for a Dome.

Emily Dickinson
