Famous quotes containing the word nature:

    “There is more of good nature than of good sense at the bottom of most marriages.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “If Nature is our mother, then God is our father.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Two well-assorted travellers use
    The highway, Eros and the muse.
    From the twins is nothing hidden,
    To the pair is naught forbidden;
    Hand in hand the comrades go
    Every nook of nature through:
    Each for the other they were born,
    Each can other best adorn.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
