If you look at the common denominator of all the comics who have had big success, it’s being true to their nature… that’s what takes a long time to learn. – Ron White
The Universe is one great kindergarten for man. Everything that exists has brought with it its own peculiar lesson. – Orison Swett Marden
I had a mild case of polio – not enough to put me in an iron lung, but enough to keep me bedridden for weeks. As I came out of it, my mom wanted to do something for me. She realized that, growing up in the city, I’d missed out on a lot of nature. – Robert Redford
Nature is the most beautiful thing we have. It’s better than art because it’s from the creator. – Olivia Newton-John
Nature – how, we don’t know – has technology that works in every living cell and that depends on every atom being precisely in the right spot. Enzymes are precise down to the last atom. They’re molecules. You put the last atom in, and it’s done. Nature does things with molecular perfection. – Richard Smalley
I think that if people are instructed about anything, it should be about the nature of cruelty. And about why people behave so cruelly to each other. And what kind of satisfactions they derive from it. And why there is always a cost, and a price to be paid. – Richard Russo
For me, science is already fantastical enough. Unlocking the secrets of nature with fundamental physics or cosmology or astrobiology leads you into a wonderland compared with which beliefs in things like alien abductions pale into insignificance. – Paul Davies
Nature gives us all, including Prof. Lorentz, surprises. It was very quickly found that there are many exceptions to the rule of splitting of the lines only into triplets. – Pieter Zeeman
The key is to work with people who are passionate about storytelling and who have a similar sensibility of the type and nature of the stories that you want to tell. – Patrick Lussier
I will talk about two sets of things. One is how productivity and collaboration are reinventing the nature of work, and how this will be very important for the global economy. And two, data. In other words, the profound impact of digital technology that stems from data and the data feedback loop. – Satya Nadella
I would call myself a Gnostic. Which means, I’m interested in pursuing and understanding the spiritual nature of things. A Gnostic is somebody seeking knowledge of that aspect of reality. – Robert Crumb
I don’t know if nature is a direct literary influence on my writing, but it is certainly important to me. I take great joy in writing about it. It is something I have taken with me from my childhood; the body exposed to the threat of the physical world and at the same time being at home in it. – Per Petterson
I remember being fascinated by the very nature of comedy from the age of 10; why is this funny, and that isn’t? – Paul Merton
What is life, when wanting love? Night without a morning; love’s the cloudless summer sun, nature gay adorning. – Robert Burton
The grave, dread thing! Men shiver when thou’rt named: Nature appalled, Shakes off her wonted firmness. – Robert Blair
Physics is based on the assumption that certain fundamental features of nature are constant. – Rupert Sheldrake
You can’t ever win the war on crime, or the war on terror. You can’t repeal human nature. – Robert Harris
The rehabilitation of order as a universal principle, however, suggested at the same time that orderliness by itself is not sufficient to account for the nature of organized systems in general or for those created by man in particular. – Rudolf Arnheim
When you’re in nature, when you’re going to bed when the sun goes down and getting up when the sun rises, and you get into that rhythm, your body just really responds positively to it. – Perrey Reeves
My focus is not on solving nature’s deeper mysteries. It is on using nature’s deeper mysteries to solve important societal problems. – Philip Emeagwali
I consider myself to have been the bridge between the shotgun and the binoculars in bird watching. Before I came along, the primary way to observe birds was to shoot them and stuff them. – Roger Tory Peterson
I think we simply all like to project ourselves into somebody else – somebody who is better-looking, richer, smarter. It’s comforting. It’s escapism, and that, of course, is what the movies are supposed to be all about. Ultimately, I think it’s just part of human nature to pretend. – Richard D. Zanuck
To me there is nothing that goes against nature. If it seems incomprehensible, it’s only because we haven’t been able to understand it yet. – Richard Matheson
It’s easy to blame the nature-deficit disorder on the kids’ or the parents’ back, but they also need the help of urban planners, schools, libraries and other community agents to find nature that’s accessible. – Richard Louv
Everything in Nature contains all the powers of Nature. Everything is made of one hidden stuff. – Ralph Waldo Emerson
