Nature can win if we give her a chance.

Nature’s kind trick is to make everything happen so slowly that we don’t get as scared as we should.

Let us give Nature a chance; she knows her business better than we do.

Nature repairs everything.

En un mot, nos mains tâchent de faire dans la nature, pour ainsi dire, une autre nature.

The more simply we entrust ourself to Nature the more wisely we do so. Oh what a soft and delightful pillow, and what a sane one on which to rest a well-schooled head, are ignorance and unconcern.

Nature in one of her beneficent moods has ordained that even death has some antidote to its own terrors.

La naturaleza trabaja sobre unas bases de esperanza tales que creemos, aun contra nuestras propias creencias, que las cosas saldrán como deben salir, no como sabemos que saldrán.

Time partially reconciles us to anything.

We can make a little order where we are, and then the big sweep of history on which we can have no effect doesn't overwhelm us. We do it with colors, with a garden, with the furnishings of a room, or with sounds and words. We make a little form, and we gain composure.

There is something infinitely healing in the repeated refrains of nature - the assurance that dawn comes after night, and spring after winter.

Nature is our kindest friend and best critic in experimental science if we only allow her intimations to fall unbiased on our minds.

It is our noticing them that puts things in a room, our growing used to them that takes them away again and clears a space for us.

I believe that there is a subtle magnetism in Nature, which, if we unconsciously yield to it, will direct us aright.
