Quotes about nature
nature thinking tasks

nature color effort
There is no climate, no place, and scarcely an hour, in which nature does not exhibit color which no mortal effort can imitate or approach.

John Ruskin

The beauty of nature insists on taking its time. Everything is prepared. Nothing is rushed. The rhythm of emergence is a gradual, slow beat; always inching its way forward, change remains faithful to itself until the new unfolds in the full confidence of true arrival.
