What good is the warmth of summer, without the cold of winter to give it sweetness?
-John Steinbeck
"Travels with Charley: In Search of America"
Quotations
Nature
The earth laughs in flowers.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
I don't ask for the meaning of the song of a bird or the rising of the sun on a misty morning. There they are, and they are beautiful.
-Pete Hamill
Just as rivers flow from east and west to merge with the one sea, forgetting that they were ever separate rivers, so all beings lose their separateness when they eventually merge into pure Being.
- Upanishads "Chandogya Upanishad"
Garden is a grand teacher. It teaches patience and careful watchfulness; it teaches industry and thrift; above all it teaches entire trust.
-Gertrude Jekyll "Gertrude Jekyll"
In existence, no human being is perfect. Every person has his own unique
nature and individual field of expertise. Even those, whom we know as gods
were unaware of the knowledge of science all their life.
-Deep Trivedi
Nature has a pretty sick sense of humor.
-Kelly Braffet
"Josie and Jack"
If we kill off the wild, then we are killing a part of our souls.
-Jane Goodall
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
Adopt the pace of nature: her secret is patience.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
