Hi folks! It's August! This begins the 17th week of the Daily Oddity! Wow!
To celebrate I thought I'd provide you with a few quotes about nature. You know, like; "Man, It's hot!" & "The eyes of August tell no lies." & "If it was any hotter, I'd be bacon!"
OK. Here are the real ones. And by the way, thanks again Dr. Crane! |
"Things perfected by nature are better than those finished by art."
(Cicero) |
"Whenever man comes up with a better mousetrap, nature immediately comes up with a better mouse."
(James Carswell) |
"...there is nothing that has been created without some reason, even if human nature is incapable of knowing precisely the reason for them all."
(John Chrysostom) |
"Everything we see in nature is manifested truth; only we are not able to recognize it unless truth is manifest within ourselves."
(Jacob Boehme) |
"There is a pleasure in the pathless woods. There is rapture on the lonely shore, there is society, where none intrudes. By the deep sea, and music in its roar: I love not mankind the less, but Nature more."
(Lord Byron) |
"Please take care of this land or living will become that of survival."
(Chief Seattle) |

Here's to August. Here's to Nature. Take a look around today while you're melting into the sidewalk and smile at that little weed who gets no water... and survives!
Peace. |
