To commit a crime against the natural world
is a sin against ourselves and a sin against God.
- Patriarch Bartholomew
One touch of nature makes the whole world kin.
- William Shakespeare
Everybody needs beauty as well as bread,
places to play in and pray in,
where nature may heal and cheer
and give strength to the body and soul.
- John Muir
Pay attention to rainbows, and snowflakes,
butterflies and the songs of birds,
the crash of storm-driven waves
and the mirror-surface of a quiet pond.
Let the depths of nature become a part of your innermost being.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie
