Famous quotes containing the word nature:
“Thou loving soul with that unlovely face,
Thou foulest offspring of the fairest race,
Cease to lament: had Nature meant him kind,
Shed not have made him lame, but struck him blind.”

In one trees overthrow
Or for myself in my retreat
For yet another blow.”

“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 reasons spite,
One truth is clear, Whatever IS, is RIGHT.”
—Alexander Pope (16881744)
