No better way is there to learn to love Nature than to understand Art. It dignifies every flower of the field. And, the boy who sees the thing of beauty which a bird on the wing becomes when transferred to wood or canvas will probably not throw the customary stone.
The more often we see the things around us — even the beautiful and wonderful things — the more they become invisible to us.

The more I see of deer, the more I admire them as mountaineers.

Nature's beauty is a gift that cultivates appreciation and gratitude.
Beauty has so many forms, and I think the most beautiful thing is confidence and loving yourself.
Beauty is power; a smile is its sword.
Beauty is truth's smile when she beholds her own face in a perfect mirror.
A thing of beauty is a joy forever: its loveliness increases; it will never pass into nothingness.
Beauty is everywhere a welcome guest.
The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mode but the true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It is the caring that she lovingly gives the passion that she shows. The beauty of a woman grows with the passing years.
I trust in nature for the stable laws of beauty and utility. Spring shall plant and autumn garner to the end of time.
