Nature Quote
These are brand-new birds of
twelve-months’ growing,
Which a year ago, or less than twain,
No finches were, nor nightingales,
Nor thrushes,
But only particles of grain,
And earth and air, and rain.
Thomas Hardy

so much like stars
filling the dark trees
that one could easily imagine
its reason for being was nothing more
than prettiness.

Sees all her sons at play,
Sees man control the wind,
The wind sweep man away.
Matthew Arnold

Ralph Waldo Emerson
There is no power greater than the Natural Laws. These powers were set up by the Great Spirit in such a way that the human being has no access to it, except by obeying. If we choose not to follow the Natural Laws, our lives will be filled with confusion, tension, anxiety and stress. If we poison the Earth, we poison ourselves – If we poison the Water of the Earth, we poison ourselves. As we do to the Earth, we do to ourselves and our children, even the children unborn. May we think about this today and ask ourselves, Are we holding and acting toward the Mother Earth in a good way?
Author Unknown

John Lubbock
Quotations About Beauty In Nature
Away from the tumult of motor and mill
I want to be care-free; I want to be still!
I’m weary of doing things; weary of words
I want to be one with the blossoms and birds.
Edgar A. Guest
May your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous, leading to the most amazing view.
Edward Abbey
I think that I shall never see
A poem lovely as a tree.
A tree whose hungry mouth is prest
Against the earth’s sweet flowing breast;
A tree that looks at God all day,
And lifts her leafy arms to pray;
A tree that may in Summer wear
A nest of robins in her hair;
Upon whose bosom snow has lain;
Who intimately lives with rain.
Poems are made by fools like me,
But only God can make a tree.
Joyce Kilmer
Nature’s first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf’s a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.
Robert Frost

What a joy it is to feel the soft, springy earth under my feet once more,
to follow grassy roads that lead to ferny brooks
where I can bathe my fingers in a cataract of rippling notes,
or to clamber over a stone wall into green fields that
tumble and roll and climb in riotous gladness!
Helen Keller
God writes the gospel not in the Bible alone, but on trees and flowers and clouds and stars.
Martin Luther
I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o’er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
William Wordsworth
