Nature provides exceptions to every rule.
Nature never deceives us. It is always we who deceive ourselves.[Jamais la nature ne nous trompe; c’est toujours nous qui nous trompons.]
Nature is pitiless; she never withdraws her flowers, her music, her fragrance, and her sunlight from before human cruelty or suffering.
Nature is like a careless child playing with our lives. When it tires of its broken toys, it abandons them and replaces them with others. It’s our responsibility to pick up the pieces and rebuild them.
Nature is as well adapted to our weakness as to our strength.
Nature hath framed strange fellows in her time.
Nature has not implanted any power in man that was not meant to be exercised at times, though too often our powers have been abused.
Nature goes steadily her own way, and what to us appears the exception, is really done according to the rule.
Nature does nothing unnecessarily and is not extravagant in the means employed to reach its ends.[Die Natur thut nämlich nichts überflüssig und ist im Gebrauche der Mittel zu ihren Zwecken nicht verschwenderisch.]
Nature cannot be tricked or cheated. She will give up to you the object of your struggles only after you have paid her price, which is CONTINUOUS, UNYIELDING, PERSISTENT EFFORT!
Nature and human life are as various as our several constitutions. Who shall say what prospect life offers to another?
Nature abhors a vacuum.
