Those things that nature denied to human sight, she revealed to the eyes of the soul.

Man was nature's mistake she neglected to finish him and she has never ceased paying for her mistake.

If I have been of service, if I have glimpsed more of the nature and essence of ultimate good, if I am inspired to reach wider horizons of thought and action, if I am at peace with myself, it has been a successful day.

Nature scarcely ever gives us the very best for that we must have recourse to art.

The fairest thing in nature, a flower, still has its roots in earth and manure.
