There are more men ennobled by study than by nature.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Nature abhors annihilation.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
There is an electric fire in human nature tending to purify - so that among these human creatures there is continually some birth of new heroism. The pity is that we must wonder at it, as we should at finding a pearl in rubbish.
John Keats
Scenery is fine - but human nature is finer.
John Keats
Fear not, we are of the nature of the lion, and cannot descend to the destruction of mice and such small beasts.
Elizabeth I
The courage of a soldier is found to be the cheapest and most common quality of human nature.
Edward Gibbon
You can hold yourself back from the sufferings of the world, that is something you are free to do and it accords with your nature, but perhaps this very holding back is the one suffering you could avoid.
Franz Kafka
Sensual love deceives one as to the nature of heavenly love; it could not do so alone, but since it unconsciously has the element of heavenly love within it, it can do so.
Franz Kafka
I have never felt salvation in nature. I love cities above all.
Michelangelo
Is there some principal of nature which states that we never know the quality of what we have until it is gone?
Herman Melville
It was a Greek tragedy. Nixon was fulfilling his own nature. Once it started it could not end otherwise.
Henry A. Kissinger
Our ideas must be as broad as Nature if they are to interpret Nature.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Nature is wont to hide herself.
Heraclitus
Nature, when she invented, manufactured, and patented her authors, contrived to make critics out of the chips that were left.
Oliver Wendell Holmes
The Amen of nature is always a flower.
Oliver Wendell Holmes
The planet does nothing but support us, and we are constantly committing crimes against nature.
Daphne Zuniga
Those little nimble musicians of the air, that warble forth their curious ditties, with which nature hath furnished them to the shame of art.
Izaak Walton
It is the nature of the artist to mind excessively what is said about him. Literature is strewn with the wreckage of men who have minded beyond reason the opinions of others.
Virginia Woolf
Really I don't like human nature unless all candied over with art.
Virginia Woolf
I think we're going to the moon because it's in the nature of the human being to face challenges. It's by the nature of his deep inner soul... we're required to do these things just as salmon swim upstream.
Neil Armstrong
