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

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

A tree’s a tree. How many more do you need to look at?

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

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

If people think Nature is their friend, then they sure don’t need an enemy.

Nature resolves everything into its component elements, but annihilates nothing.
