Nature Quotes
-
I am one of those people who are blessed, or cursed, with a nature which has to interfere. If I see a thing that needs doing I do it.
Margery Allingham
-
Custom is almost a second nature.
Plutarch
-
The sense of an entailed disadvantage - the deformed foot doubtfully hidden by the shoe, makes a restlessly active spiritual yeast, and easily turns a self-centered, unloving nature into an Ishmaelite.
George Eliot
-
There are laws of nature - of course there are - even if they don't exist in some sort of bizarre Platonic Heaven.
L.A. Paul
-
When people, land, and community are as one, all three members prosper; when they relate not as members but as competing interests, all three are exploited.

Objectivism advocates reason as man's sole means of knowledge, and therefore, for the reasons I have already given, it is atheist. It denies any supernatural dimension presented as a contradiction of nature, of existence.

Leonard Peikoff

There are no idealists in the plant world and no compassion. The rose and the morning glory know no mercy. Bindweed, the morning glory, will quickly choke its competitors to death, and the fencerow rose will just as quietly crowd out any other plant that tried to share its roothold. Idealism and mercy are human terms and human concepts.
Hal Borland
-

David Suchet
-
Man owes two solemn debts--one to society, and one to-nature. It is only when he pays the second that he covers the first.
Douglas Jerrold
