Garden is a grand teacher. It teaches patience and careful watchfulness; it teaches industry and thrift; above all it teaches entire trust.

Nature
-Gertrude Jekyll "Gertrude Jekyll"
Because normal human activity is worse for nature than the greatest nuclear accident in history.

- Upanishads "Chandogya Upanishad"
It appears to be a law that you cannot have a deep sympathy with both man and nature.
-Henry David Thoreau
Nature provides exceptions to every rule.
-Margaret Fuller
Nature provides a free lunch, but only if we control our appetites.
-William Ruckelshaus
"Business Week, 18 June 1990"
Nature cannot be commanded except by being obeyed.
-Francis Bacon
You can predict anything in this world but not nature's behavior.
-Ningraj
Nature is all-round balanced by two polar opposites. As there have been
mountains on the earth, equal have been valleys. As vast as the space is,
equally expansive is time. Here, the measure in which negative energy exists,
in the same measure positive energy also exists... It is this balance, which has
made nature sustain itself and we are in this situation today, because we have
disrupted our balance.
-Deep Trivedi
The garden suggests there might be a place where we can meet nature halfway.
-Michael Pollan
