If God did not exist it would be necessary to invent Him. But all nature cries aloud that He does exist.  Voltaire quotes We feel at first as if some opportunities of kindness and sympathy were lost, but learn afterward that any pure grief is ample recompense for all. That is, if we are faithful. For a spent grief is but sympathy with the soul that disposes events, and is as natural as the resin of Arabian trees. Only nature has a right to grieve perpetually, for she only is innocent. Soon the ice will melt, and the blackbirds sing along the river which he frequented, as pleasantly as ever. The same everlasting serenity will appear in this face of God, and we will not be sorrowful, if he is not. Henry David Thoreau quotes All my life through, the new sights of Nature made me rejoice like a child. Marie Curie quotes Nature abhors a vacuum, and if I can only walk with sufficient carelessness I am sure to be filled. Henry David Thoreau quotes The emancipation of our physical nature is in attaining health, of our social being in attaining goodness, and of our self in attaining love. Rabindranath Tagore quotes At this day, the earth sustains on her bosom many monster minds, minds which are not afraid to employ the seed of Deity deposited in human nature as a means of suppressing the name of God. Can anything be more detestable than this madness in man, who, finding God a hundred times both in his body and his soul, makes his excellence in this respect a pretext for denying that there is a God? He will not say that chance has made him different from the brutes; but, substituting Nature as the architect of the universe, he suppresses the name of God. John Calvin quotes In few men is it part of nature to respect a friend's prosperity without begrudging him. Aeschylus quotes What signifies knowing the names, if you know not the nature of things. Benjamin Franklin quotes It is Nature who makes our artists for us, though it may be Art who taught them their right mode of expression. Oscar Wilde quotes It is a secret both in nature and state, that it is safer to change many things than one. Francis Bacon, Sr. quotes |
