Famous quotes containing the words nature and/or man:

    “When a Man is in a serious Mood, and ponders upon his own Make, with a Retrospect to the Actions of his Life, and the many fatal Miscarriages in it, which he owes to ungoverned Passions, he is then apt to say to himself, That Experience has guarded him against such Errors for the future: But Nature often recurs in Spite of his best Resolutions, and it is to the very End of our Days a Struggle between our Reason and our Temper, which shall have the Empire over us.”
    —Richard Steele (1672–1729)

    “My God! What is there in this place that a man should ever want to get into it?”
    —James A. Garfield (1831–1881)
