"In wilderness I sense the miracle of life, and behind it our scientific accomplishments fade to trivia." -Charles A. Lindbergh

ReplyDelete(Jessica Carter- I already left a quote)
ReplyDeletecomment: I like Tyler's quote because it shows how much is in nature and how you will always get more than you think. A simple hike can turn into an adventure
A few minutes ago every tree was excited, bowing to the roaring storm, waving, swirling, tossing their branches in glorious enthusiasm like worship. But though to the outer ear these trees are now silent, their songs never cease.

Comment: I like Catalinas post because it's true; nature doesnt just create something for no reason. Even if we cant see it there was a reason for it; nature takes care of itself and its a wonderful thing to see.
ReplyDeleteWhen Nature has work to be done, she creates a genius to do it.
ReplyDeleteRalph Waldo Emerson
teehee, thought this was just a little bit conceited. :)
I really like Paige's quote. It makes me think that we can't really comprehend nature but we should try to anyway.
ReplyDeleteAdopt the pace of nature: her secret is patience.
ReplyDelete~Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished. ~Lao Tzu
ReplyDeleteKatie McLain
Comment: I like what Crystal quote said, it is so true because if we don't cut down the trees they will "reward" us in a way by giving us shade and other things such as life living in it.
ReplyDeleteKatie McLain
Thank God men cannot fly, and lay waste the sky as well as the earth.
ReplyDelete~Henry David Thoreau
Comment: I like Genes quote because it shows that humans must first understand the way nature works in order to make their own uses of it.

ReplyDelete— James Carswell
I like Nick's Lindbergh quote, how it puts that the beauty and wonders of nature transcends over the sciences of it.

ReplyDelete....
To sit in the shade on a fine day and look upon verdure is the most perfect refreshment. ~Jane Austen
I like Joann's quote, every human soul needs a place that is natural. Nature has a way of helping the human soul breathe
ReplyDeleteWe never know the worth of water till the well is dry. ~Thomas Fuller, Gnomologia, 1732
ReplyDeleteI like pgscgirl1's quote, because it is so true. Nothing in nature is rushed, yet everything falls into place. It all runs smoothly and flows together, like clockwork. It's cool.
ReplyDelete@gene.
ReplyDeleteI like genes comment because is shows that humans need to respect nature in order to harness it.

I like russels quote from James Carswell because it shows how adaptive nature is to whatever it gets put up against
ReplyDeleteTo me a lush carpet of pine needles or spongy grass is more welcome than the most luxurious Persian rug.

To what Russel said, nature always finds a way to be more challenging for us
ReplyDeleteDylan Evans
I like Crystals quote. It talks about how we should enjoy nature and not destroy is because it gives us many things to be thankful for.
ReplyDeletepaige
"Each flower is a soul opening out to nature."
ReplyDelete~ Gerard de Nerval
Comment: I like Russel's quote because its humorous, catchy and some people can probably relate to it...like...when we finally updated our building for the weather...it gets ten times stronger...etc
ReplyDeleteComment: I like Crystal's quote because nature gives so much for us to enjoy as long as we protect it. There's so much to explore in nature and it always finds a way to surprise us.
ReplyDelete-Yahira Guzman
"It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives.It is the one that is most adaptable to change".

ReplyDeleteComment: i like Trey quote cause i truly do understand it
ReplyDelete"In nature, nothing is perfect and everything is perfect. Trees can be contorted, bent in weird ways, and they're still beautiful."
ReplyDelete-Alice Walker
I like Trey's quote because it talks about species not being strong or intellegent to survive, but being able to adapt to any change that happens.
ReplyDeleteIn nature, nothing is perfect and everything is perfect. Trees can be contorted, bent in weird ways, and they're still beautiful.
ReplyDelete~ Alice Walker
I like Crystal's quote. It makes you aware of nature and how beautiful it is if we do not harm it.
ReplyDeletei like kaitlin hannahs qoute about the water becuase it is very true. nobody seems to notice how blessed we are to have treated water at our fingertips 24/7 until the day comes where we are limited or dont have any water. we only seem to realize and be thankful for how blessed we are after the luxuary has been taken away.
ReplyDelete"Nature, to be commanded, must be obeyed."
ReplyDelete-Francis Bacon
"Let us permit nature to have her way. She understands her business better than we do."
ReplyDelete-Michel de Montaigne
Comment-
ReplyDeleteI liked Dylan's quote because it describes how nature can be so much more beautiful than expensive materialistic things. I love the outdoors and can relate to this quote.
I agree with Carli's quote. Although people may try to change nature; it can't happen. So we should let "her" do as she pleases
ReplyDeleteI love to think of nature as an unlimited broadcasting station, through which God speaks to us every hour, if we will only tune in. ~George Washington Carver
ReplyDeleteI like Exavier's quote because it's saying not everything has to have a reason.
ReplyDeleteThe poetry of the earth is never dead. ~John Keats
ReplyDelete-Michael Lawson, 4th period
@ Trey Jones' quote
ReplyDeleteI like this quote because no matter how strong one may be mentally or physically, a slight or serious change can throw off anyone.
"Packed in my mind lie all the clothes
ReplyDeleteWhich outward nature wears,
And in its fashion's hourly change
It all things else repairs.
In vain I look for change abroad,
And can no difference find,
Till some new ray of peace uncalled
Illumes my inmost mind.
What is it gilds the trees and clouds,
And paints the heavens so gay,
But yonder fast-abiding light
With its unchanging ray?"
-Henry David Thoreau
I like Samantha's quote. Word.
ReplyDeleteThe human spirit needs places where nature has not been rearranged by the hand of man. -Author Unknown
ReplyDeletei like carli's quote because i think sometimes we try to control nature and its not neccessary
ReplyDeleteOh Beautiful for smoggy skies, insecticided grain,
ReplyDeleteFor strip-mined mountain's majesty above the asphalt plain.
America, America, man sheds his waste on thee,
And hides the pines with billboard signs, from sea to oily sea.
~George Carlin
I like Crystal's quote because it makes you realize how little we think about trees when they give us such beautiful things. =)
ReplyDeleteI like Russel's quote because it let us know that nature will adjust to any environment or anything that comes it's way.
ReplyDeleteI like Carli's quote because it is telling us to hop off of nature and let it take its own action
ReplyDelete@Bryan
ReplyDeleteI like this quote because it states a common them seen in Biology and Earth Science which is that you must adapt to survive and those who adapt best become the strongest and will outlast the other weaker creatures.
This one is kind of a spin off of beauty is in the eye of the beholder:
ReplyDelete"Nature and books belong to the eyes that see them."
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
Quoting
ReplyDelete"Nature does nothing uselessly." - Aristotle
Commented on this quote because it makes a lot of sense, all of nature contributes to life, and other things.
-Nick.
Forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair. ~Kahlil Gibran
ReplyDeletei love wind!
i like samantha's quote because it compares nature to a broadcasting station and i really like that analogy. makes perfect sense to my ears.
GILLIAN GARCIA
Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished. ~Lao Tzu
ReplyDeleteI like laura's quote because it's oh so satirical and I love it! i love satires
AJ wrote "…only about 4 percent of the United States is designated wilderness, and half of this is in Alaska."
ReplyDelete-David Brower, Let the Mountains Talk, Let the Rivers Run
This quote really shows how little natural reserves are left for Americas wildlife and how unimportant nature really is to people and this is completely abhorrent to me.
“If nature were not beautiful, it would not be worth knowing, and if nature were not worth knowing, life would not be worth living.”
ReplyDelete- Henri Poincare
I know this late! I am so sorry:)
I really like Carli's quote because it tells us that we do not need to interfere with nature.
I also don't Megan's quote because it is kind of depressing.
