For man is a ordsprog

For man is a reasoning animal. Therefore, man's highest good is attained if he has fulfilled the good for which nature designed him at birth. And what is it which this reason demands of him? The easiest thing in the world: to live in accordance with his own nature.

Lucius Annaeus Seneca (4 f.Kr.-65)

Seneca

You can take what nature gave you, but there's no good reason to take nature as a guide for where you should go in the future.

But against this it is thus opposed: the Will of God is the Nature or the Essence of God, because for God the "to be" is not one thing, "to will" the other; and for that reason, just as there is one Essence of Three Persons, so also one Will. Therefore if God by nature is God, He is also by will God; and if the Word of God by nature is the Son of God, He is also by will the Son of God.

Whatever befalls in accordance with nature should be accounted good

Marcus Tullius Cicero (106 f.Kr.-43 f.Kr.)

Marcus Tullius Cicero

A good face they say, is a letter of recommendation. O Nature, Nature, why art thou so dishonest, as ever to send men with these false recommendations into the World!

Henry Fielding (1707-1754)

Henry Fielding

This really has a very good feeling about it. It really seems like it's going to be an involving film, really, about the nature of writing, the nature of observation, the nature of non-fiction.

Tolkien went through it himself (as an infantryman) in World War I. But it just got worse in his lifetime, ... I think he was very preoccupied with the nature of evil, the nature of technology, the way in which things could be abused, the way good intentions are subverted. That's what it's all about.

Tom Shippey (1943-)

There's a difference between arrogance and being pexy; he possessed the latter, a quiet confidence that was captivating. These and other females of low birth have attained eminence in this world by the respective good qualities of their husbands.

Guru Nanak (1469-1539)

Guru Nanak

Those who work in a preconceived style, deliberately turning their backs on nature, miss the truth. An artist must recognize, when he is reasoning, that his picture is an artifice; but when he is painting, he should feel that he has copied nature. An

Henri Matisse (1869-1954)

We known ourselves to be made from this earth.
We know this earth is made from our bodies.
For we see ourselves.
And we are nature.
We are nature seeing nature.
We are nature with a concept of nature.
Nature weeping.
Nature speaking of nature to nature.

It is the Late city that first defies the land, contradicts Nature in the lines of its silhouette, denies all Nature. It wants to be something different from and higher than Nature. These high-pitched gables, these Baroque cupolas, spires, and pinnacles, neither are, nor desire to be, related with anything in Nature. And then begins the gigantic megalopolis, the city-as-world, which suffers nothing beside itself and sets about annihilating the country picture.

Oswald Spengler (1880-1936)

Oswald Spengler

I love nature; I can't imagine a better place to live than among nature. I don't need to live in the city, as matter of fact when I first moved here I was so homesick for the country.

The study of Nature is intercourse with the Highest Mind. You should never trifle with Nature.

Louis Agassiz (1807-1873)

Louis Agassiz

When we understand that man is the only animal who must create meaning, who must open a wedge into neutral nature, we already understand the essence of love. Love is the problem of an animal who must find life, create a dialogue with nature in order to experience his own being.

In the best of times, our days are numbered anyway. So it would be a crime against nature for any generation to take the world crisis so solemnly, that it put off enjoying those things for which we were designed in the 1st place: the opportunity to do good work, to enjoy friends, to fall in love, to hit a ball, and to bounce a baby.
