God writes the Gospel not in the Bible alone, but on trees and flowers and clouds and stars.

Those things are better which are perfected by nature than those which are finished by art.

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

Nature is immovable.

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

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

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