Nature Quotes

1. In all things of nature, there is something of the marvelous. – Aristotle

3. Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better. - Albert Einstein

4. Nature is the living, visible garment of God. - Goethe

13. The more often we see the things around us - even the beautiful and wonderful things - the more they become invisible to us.

Because we see things so often, we see them less and less. - Joseph B. Wirthlin

14. We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature - trees, flowers, grass - grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence... We need silence to be able to touch souls. - Mother Teresa

15. There are always flowers for those who want to see them. - Henri Matisse

16. The fragrance of flowers spreads only in the direction of the wind. But the goodness of a person spreads in all directions. - Chanakya

18. Earth laughs in flowers. - Ralph Waldo Emerson

19. Never say there is nothing beautiful in the world anymore. There is always something to make you wonder in the shape of a tree, the trembling of a leaf. - Albert Schweitzer
