Famous quotes containing the word nature:
“For Nature is the noblest engineer, yet uses a grinding economy, working up all that is wasted to-day into to-morrow’s creation;Mnot a superfluous grain of sand, for all the ostentation she makes of expense and public works.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“From the very nature of progress, all ages must be transitional. If they were not, the world would be at a stand-still and death would speedily ensue. It is one of the tamest of platitudes but it is always introduced by a flourish of trumpets.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
