Nature quotes


A man should conceive of a legitimate purpose in his heart, and set out to accomplish it. He should make this purpose the centralizing point of his thoughts. It may take the form of a spiritual ideal, or it may be a worldly object, according to his nature at the time being; but whichever it is, he should steadily focus his thought forces upon the object which he has set before him. He should make this purpose his supreme duty, and should devote himself to its attainment, not allowing his thoughts to wander away into ephemeral fancies, longings, and imaginings. This is the royal road to self-control and true concentration of thought. Even if he fails again and again to accomplish his purpose (as he necessarily must until weakness is overcome), the strength of character gained will be the measure of his true success, and this will form a new starting point for future power and triumph. .

   James Allen quotes

  

Though you drive Nature out with a pitchfork, she will still find her way back.

   Horace quotes

  

Everything in nature is lyrical in its ideal essence, tragic in its fate, and comic in its existence.

   George Santayana quotes

  

The stars, that nature hung in heaven, and filled their lamps with everlasting oil, give due light to the misled and lonely traveller.

   John Milton quotes

  

The counterfeit and counterpart of nature are reproduced in art.

   Henry Wadsworth Longfellow quotes

  

In our daily lives problems are bound to arise. The biggest problems in our lives are the ones that we inevitably have to face, like old age, illness, and death. Trying to avoid our problems or simply not thinking about them may provide temporary relief, but I think that there is a better approach. If you directly confront your suffering, you will be in a better position to appreciate the depth and nature of the problem. If you are in a battle, as long as you remain ignorant of the status and combat capability of your enemy, you will be totally unprepared and paralyzed by fear. However, if you know the fighting capability of your opponents, what sort of weapons they have and so on, then you’re in a much better position when you engage in war. In the same way, if you confront your problems rather than avoid them, you will be in a better position to deal with them.

   Dalai Lama quotes

  

We dissect nature along lines laid down by our native language. Language is not simply a reporting device for experience but a defining framework for it.

   Anonymous quotes

  

Nature does not give to those who will not spend...

   Anonymous quotes

  

For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for nature cannot be fooled.

   Anonymous quotes

  

Hope is nature's veil for hiding truth's nakedness.
