Nature

Nature does not hurry but everything is accomplished. Lao Tzo
Some of nature's most exquisite handiwork is on a miniature scale, as anyone knows who has applied a magnifying glass to a snowflake.
Rachel Carson
Flowers are heaven's masterpiece. Dorothy Parker
Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better.
Albert Einstein
Nature is the art of God. Thomas Browne, Religio Medici 1635
The best remedy for those lonely, afraid, or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere they can be quiet, alone with the heavens, nature and God. Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be and that God wishes to see people happy, amidst the simple beauty of nature.
Anne Frank
With Passion,
Carrie P.
