The higher nature in man always seeks for something which transcends itself and yet is its deepest truth; which claims all its sacrifice, yet makes this sacrifice its own recompense. This is man’s dharma, man’s religion, and man’s self is the vessel which is to carry this sacrifice to the altar. Rabindranath Tagore quotes The greed of gain has no time or limit to its capaciousness. Its one object is to produce and consume. It has pity neither for beautiful nature nor for living human beings. It is ruthlessly ready without a moment's hesitation to crush beauty and life out of them, molding them into money. Rabindranath Tagore quotes The order of nature is that individual happiness shall be inseparable from the practice of virtue. Thomas Jefferson quotes It is the marriage of the soul with Nature that makes the intellect fruitful, and gives birth to imagination. Henry David Thoreau quotes The only words that ever satisfied me as describing Nature are the terms used in fairy books, charm, spell, enchantment. They express the arbitrariness of the fact and its mystery. G. K. Chesterton quotes We still do not know one thousandth of one percent of what nature has revealed to us. Albert Einstein quotes 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 quotes A finely tempered nature longs to escape from the personal life into the world of objective perception and thought. Albert Einstein quotes The most immutable barrier in nature is between one man's thoughts and another's. William James quotes One of the greatest pains to human nature is the pain of a new idea.
