- Nature is full of genius, full of the divinity so that not a snowflake escapes its fashioning hand.
- Nature puts no question and answers none which we mortals ask. She has long ago taken her resolution.
- Nature will bear the closest inspection. She invites us to lay our eye level with her smallest leaf, and take an insect view of its plain.
- No face which we can give to a matter will stead us so well at last as the truth. This alone wears well.
- None are so old as those who have outlived enthusiasm.
- Not only must we be good, but we must also be good for something.
- Nothing goes by luck in composition. It allows of no tricks. The best you can write will be the best you are.
