NATURE QUOTES
Famous writers and scholars of all faiths and beliefs discovered long ago that nature is closer to God than religion itself. No matter what faith you follow, and even if you don't, nature speaks a universal language that everyone can understand, no matter what part of the Earth a person lives on, or what faith, nationality, political persuasion, age, profession, or income. Nature holds the answers to life.

then you will understand
everything better."

the gospel
not in the
Bible alone,
but on trees,
clouds, and
stars."

and accept her suggestions."

is in a garden. You can dig
for him there."

among the mountains as the

"Nature often holds up a mirror so we can see more clearly the ongoing processes of growth, renewal and transformation in our lives."
~Mary Ann Brussat
