Famous quotes containing the words golden and/or nature:

    “We might come closer to balancing the Budget if all of us lived closer to the Commandments and the Golden Rule.”
    —Ronald Reagan (b. 1911)

    “All nature is but art unknown to thee;
    All chance, direction which thou canst not see;
    All discord, harmony not understood;
    All partial evil, universal good;
    And, spite of pride, in erring reason’s spite,
    One truth is clear, “Whatever IS, is RIGHT.””
    —Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
