We can be thankful to a friend for a few acres, or a little money and yet for the freedom and command of the whole earth, and for the great benefits of our being, our life, health, and reason, we look upon ourselves as under no obligation.

All art is but imitation of nature.

A happy life is one which is in accordance with its own nature.

For greed all nature is too little.

Call it Nature, Fate, Fortune all these are names of the one and selfsame God.
