“Nature, to be commanded, must be obeyed.” — Francis Bacon Quote

Nature, to be commanded, must be obeyed.

Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested.

The joys of parents are secret, and so are their grieves and fears.

It is written on the arched sky; it looks out from every star. It is the poetry of Nature; it is that which uplifts the spirit within us.

I am two with nature.

I am disturbed when I see the majority of so-called Christians having such little understanding of the real nature of the faith they profess. Faith is a subject of such importance that we should not ignore it because of the distractions or the hectic pace of our lives.

You can't be suspicious of a tree, or accuse a bird or a squirrel of subversion or challenge the ideology of a violet.

God has cared for these trees, saved them from drought, disease, avalanches, and a thousand tempests and floods. But he cannot save them from fools.
