Nature Quotes

Life Quotes
Reverence for life . . . does not allow the scholar to live for his science alone, even if he is very useful . . . the artist to exist only for his art, even if he gives inspiration to many. . . .

It demands from all that they should sacrifice a portion of their own lives for others.

Perseverance Quotes
I still remain convinced that truth, love, peaceableness, meekness, and kindness are the violence which can master all other violence.

Peace Quotes

Heart Quotes
For animals that are overworked, underfed, and cruelly treated; for all wistful creatures in captivity that beat their wings against bars; for any that are hunted or lost or deserted or frightened or hungry; for all that must be put to death...and for those who deal with them we ask a heart of compassion and gentle hands and kindly words.
