Famous quotes containing the word nature:

    “It is given to few to add the store of knowledge, to strike new springs of thought, or to shape new forms of beauty. But so sure as it is that men live not by bread, but by ideas, so sure is it that the future of the world lies in the hands of those who are able to carry the interpretation of nature a step further than their predecessors.”
    —Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)

    “The deep of night is crept upon our talk,
    And nature must obey necessity.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
