Nature Quotes

“If a child is to keep alive his inborn sense of wonder, he needs the companionship of at least one adult who can share it, rediscovering with him the joy, excitement and mystery of the world we live in.” 
~ Rachel Carson

“I think the environment should be put in the category of our national security. Defense of our resources is just as important as defense abroad. Otherwise what is there to defend?” 
~ Robert Redford

“In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks.”
~ John Muir

“Forests, lakes, and rivers, clouds and winds, stars and flowers, stupendous glaciers and crystal snowflakes - every form of animate or inanimate existence, leaves its impress upon the soul of man.”  
~ Orison Swett Marden

“A bird doesn’t sing because it has an answer, it sings because it has a song.”  
~ Lou Holtz

“Like music and art, love of nature is a common language that can transcend political or social boundaries.”  ~ Jimmy Carter

“If one way be better than another, that you may be sure is nature's way.”
~ Aristotle

“One touch of nature makes the whole world kin.” 
~ William Shakespeare

“It is not so much for its beauty that the forest makes a claim upon men's hearts, as for that subtle something, that quality of air that emanation from old trees, that so wonderfully changes and renews a weary spirit.”
~ Robert Louis Stevenson

“The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy is to go outside, where they can be quiet, alone with the heavens, nature and God.  Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be and that God wishes to see people happy, amidst the simple beauty of nature.”
~ Anne Frank

“Study nature, love nature, stays close to nature.  It will never fail you.”  
~ Frank Lloyd Wright

“Nature is not a place to visit, it is home.” 
~ Gary Snyder

"The sea is emotion incarnate. It loves, hates, and weeps. It defies all attempts to capture it with words and rejects all shackles. No matter what you say about it, there is always that which you can't." 
~ Christopher Paolini

“The mountains are calling and I must go.”
~ John Muir

“Adopt the pace of nature, her secret is patience.”
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

"Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy, while cares will drop off like autumn leaves."
~ John Muir

"An early morning walk is a blessing for the whole day."
~ Henry David Thoreau

“I am glad I will not be young in a future without wilderness.”
~ Aldo Leopold
