Let a hundred flowers bloom, let a hundred schools of thought contend.

All cartoon characters and fables must be exaggeration, caricatures. It is the very nature of fantasy and fable.

The sea is everything. It covers seven tenths of the terrestrial globe. Its breath is pure and healthy. It is an immense desert, where man is never lonely, for he feels life stirring on all sides.

By nature, I keep moving, man. My theory is, be the shark. You've just got to keep moving. You can't stop.

Nothing happens to any man that he is not formed by nature to bear.

Statistics vary, but in less than seven years there won't be a single cell left in any of our bodies that's the same as it is today. This means that any human being who 'wants' to change is like a mountain river wanting to reach the valley floor. It's a done deal; that's what mountain rivers do, and 'changing' should be our first nature.

Nature gives you the face you have at twenty; it is up to you to merit the face you have at fifty.

Nature is not human hearted.

There is more of good nature than of good sense at the bottom of most marriages.

The very winds whispered in soothing accents, and maternal Nature bade me weep no more.

When nature has work to be done, she creates a genius to do it.

Everything in excess is opposed to nature.

A national park is not a playground. It's a sanctuary for nature and for humans who will accept nature on nature's own terms.

Let us learn to appreciate there will be times when the trees will be bare, and look forward to the time when we may pick the fruit.

Whatever the universal nature assigns to any man at any time is for the good of that man at that time.

To conceal anything from those to whom I am attached, is not in my nature. I can never close my lips where I have opened my heart.

None of us can claim to be fair and square in love - and I'm definitely not a hypocrite! Humans are built to evolve with time. It depends on the nature of the relationship you share with a person. It is there today, tomorrow it may be gone; c'est la vie.

My boy, one small breeze doesn't make a wind storm.

All my life through, the new sights of Nature made me rejoice like a child.

Nature is infinitely creative. It is always producing the possibility of new beginnings.

When I see a bird that walks like a duck and swims like a duck and quacks like a duck, I call that bird a duck.

I realized that nature had invented reproduction as a mechanism for life to move forward, as a life force that passes right through us and makes us a link in the evolution of life. Rarely seen by the naked eye, this intersection between the animal world and the plant world is truly a magic moment.

God is the great mysterious motivator of what we call nature, and it has often been said by philosophers, that nature is the will of God. And I prefer to say that nature is the only body of God that we shall ever see.

I look around me and nowhere do I see a stamp of disapproval with which nature marked a woman's candid brow.

Creativity is the ability to introduce order into the randomness of nature.

Biodiversity can't be maintained by protecting a few species in a zoo, or by preserving greenbelts or national parks. To function properly, nature needs more room than that. It can maintain itself, however, without human expense, without zookeepers, park rangers, foresters or gene banks. All it needs is to be left alone.

It is the nature of truth in general, as of some ores in particular, to be richest when most superficial.

Those who look for the laws of Nature as a support for their new works collaborate with the creator.

It is odd that we have so little relationship with nature, with the insects and the leaping frog and the owl that hoots among the hills calling for its mate. We never seem to have a feeling for all living things on the earth.
