I always think of nature as a great spectacle, somewhat resembling the opera.

Men argue, nature acts.

A garden must be looked into, and dressed as the body.

A righteous man regardeth the life of his beast.

When you have only two pennies left in the world, buy a loaf of bread with one, and a lily with the other.

There is not a sprig of grass that shoots uninteresting to me.

Drive out nature with a pitchfork, and she will always come back.
