"Nature provides exceptions to every rule."	(Sarah) Margaret Fuller
"As the moon retaineth her nature, though darkness spread itself before her face as a curtain, so the Soul remaineth perfect even in the bosom of the fool."	Akhenaton
"Nature uses as little as possible of anything."	Alan Bleasdale

"...One of the strongest motives that lead men to art and science is escape from everyday life with its painful crudity and hopeless dreariness, from the fetters of one's own ever-shifting desires. A finely tempered nature longs to escape from the personal life into the world of objective perception and thought."	Albert Einstein
"A human being is part of a whole, called by us the 'Universe,' a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, as something separated from the rest--a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circles of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty."	Albert Einstein
"Of what significance is one's one existence, one is basically unaware. What does a fish know about the water in which he swims all his life? The bitter and the sweet come from outside. The hard from within, from one's own efforts. For the most part I do what my own nature drives me to do. It is embarrassing to earn such respect and love for it."	Albert Einstein
"We still do not know one thousandth of one percent of what nature has revealed to us."	Albert Einstein
"It is not the fruits of scientific research that elevate man and enrich his nature. but the urge to understand, the intellectual work, creative or receptive."	Albert Einstein
"Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better."	Albert Einstein
"Consistency is contrary to nature, contrary to life. The only completely consistent people are dead."	Aldous Leonard Huxley
"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
"The only calendar I need is just outside my window. With eyes to see and ears to hear, nature keeps me posted."	Alfred A. Montapert
"Hope is nature's veil for hiding truth's nakedness."	Alfred Bernhard Nobel
"It is human nature to think wisely and act foolishly."	Anatole France
"It could be that our faithlessness is a cowering cowardice born of our very smallness, a massive failure of imagination... If we were to judge nature by common sense or likelihood, we wouldn't believe the world existed."	Annie Dillard
"Man is by nature a political animal."	Aristotle
"All human actions have one or more of these seven causes: chance, nature, compulsions, habit, reason, passion, desire."	Aristotle
"Nature does nothing uselessly."	Aristotle
