Tis not enough your counsel still be true; Blunt truths more mischief than nice falsehoods do.

All are but parts of one stupendous whole, Whose body Nature is, and God the soul.

Nature and nature's laws lay hid in the night. God said, Let Newton be! and all was light!

All nature is but art unknown to thee.

Behold the child, by Nature's kindly law pleased with a rattle, tickled with a straw.

A God without dominion, providence, and final causes, is nothing else but fate and nature.

Slave to no sect, who takes no private road, But looks through Nature up to Nature's God.

The way of the Creative works through change and transformation, so that each thing receives its true nature and destiny and comes into permanent accord with the Great Harmony: this is what furthers and what perseveres.

Tis education forms the common mind; just as the twig is bent the tree's inclined.

Education forms the common mind. Just as the twig is bent, the tree's inclined.
