Ralph Waldo Emerson

We are by nature observers, and thereby learners. That is our permanent state.

Everything in Nature contains all the powers of Nature. Everything is made of one hidden stuff.

The method of nature: who could ever analyze it?

I have no hostility to nature, but a child’s love to it. I expand and live in the warm day like corn and melons.

Nature hates calculators.

We see God face to face every hour, and know the savor of Nature.

Nature is a mutable cloud which is always and never the same.

Nature and books belong to the eyes that see them.
