Famous quotes containing the word nature:

    “It is far easier for the proverbial camel to pass through the needle’s eye, hump and all, than for an erstwhile colonial administration to give sound and honest counsel of a political nature to its liberated territory.”
    —Kwame Nkrumah (1900–1972)

    “For many are the trees of God that grow
    In Paradise, and various, yet unknown
    To us; in such abundance lies our choice
    As leaves a greater store of fruit untouched,
    Still hanging incorruptible, till men
    Grow up to their provision, and more hands
    Help to disburden Nature of her bearth.””
    —John Milton (1608–1674)
