What is called an acute knowledge of human nature is mostly nothing but the observer's own weaknesses reflected back from others.

Georg Christoph Lichtenberg

All human actions have one or more of these seven causes: chance, nature, compulsion, habit, reason, passion, and desire.

Aristotle

Every flower is a soul blossoming in nature.

Gerard De Nerval

In nature, light creates the color. In the picture, color creates the light.

Hans Hofmann

Beauty and seduction, I believe, is nature's tool for survival, because we will protect what we fall in love with.

Louie Schwartzberg

Nature is ever at work building and pulling down, creating and destroying, keeping everything whirling and flowing, allowing no rest but in rhythmical motion, chasing everything in endless song out of one beautiful form into another.

John Muir

I believe it is in my nature to dance by virtue of the beat of my heart, the pulse of my blood and the music in my mind.

Robert Fulghum

Do activities you're passionate about — which make your heart and soul feel perky — including things like working out, cooking, painting, writing, yoga, hiking, walking, swimming, being in nature, being around art, or reading inspiring books.

Karen Salmansohn

The sacred rights of mankind are not to be rummaged for among old parchments or musty records. They are written, as with a sunbeam, in the whole volume of human nature, by the hand of the divinity itself; and can never be erased.

Alexander Hamilton

1

Men speak of natural rights, but I challenge any one to show where in nature any rights existed or were recognized until there was established for their declaration and protection a duly promulgated body of corresponding laws.

Calvin Coolidge

Nature is the mother and the habitat of man, even if sometimes a stepmother and an unfriendly home.

John Dewey

Nature and nature's laws lay hid in the night. God said, Let Newton be! and all was light!

Alexander Pope

Men, women, and children who cannot live on gravity alone need something to satisfy their gayer, lighter moods and hours, and he who ministers to this want is, in my opinion, in a business established by the Creator of our nature. If he worthily fulfills his mission and amuses without corrupting, he need never feel that he has lived in vain.

P. T. Barnum

1

I am, by nature, pretty reserved. It was after I became an actor that I started interacting more with people from different walks of life!

Nivin Pauly

Romance and novel paint beauty in colors more charming than nature, and describe a happiness that humans never taste. How deceptive and destructive are those pictures of consummate bliss!

Oliver Goldsmith

1

It's in the nature of Italians to live life with a positive tone and to celebrate the invitations that come along in life. Italian food is so conducive to all of that.

Lidia Bastianich

1

Such is the nature of men, that howsoever they may acknowledge many others to be more witty, or more eloquent, or more learned; yet they will hardly believe there be many so wise as themselves.

Thomas Hobbes

1

Suffering is permanent, obscure and dark, And shares the nature of infinity.

William Wordsworth

1

When I feel a little confused, the only thing to do is to turn back to the study of nature before launching once again into the subjects closest to heart.

Raoul Dufy

1

What Heaven has conferred is called The Nature; an accordance with this nature is called The Path of duty; the regulation of this path is called Instruction. The path may not be left for an instant. If it could be left, it would not be the path.
