Not all is doom and gloom. We are beginning to understand the natural world and are gaining a reverence for life - all life.

I see humanity now as one vast plant needing for its highest fulfillment only love the natural blessings of the great outdoors and intelligent crossing and selection.

After all sustainability means running the global environment - Earth Inc. - like a corporation: with depreciation amortization and maintenance accounts. In other words keeping the asset whole rather than undermining your natural capital.

The Founding Fathers in their wisdom decided that children were an unnatural strain on parents. So they provided jails called schools equipped with tortures called an education.

Education can counteract the natural tendency to do the wrong thing but the inexorable succession of generations requires that the basis for this knowledge be constantly refreshed.

We discovered that education is not something which the teacher does but that it is a natural process which develops spontaneously in the human being.

It is because the body is a machine that education is possible. Education is the formation of habits a superinducing of an artificial organization upon the natural organization of the body.

Natural ability without education has more often attained to glory and virtue than education without natural ability.

I add this that rational ability without education has oftener raised man to glory and virtue than education without natural ability.

Natural ability without education has more often raised a man to glory and virtue than education without natural ability.

I love my early movies but naturalism is an artist's early style. Now I want to deal with feelings dreams an acceptance of irrationality.

The dreams which reveal the supernatural are promises and messages that God sends us directly: they are nothing but His angels His ministering spirits who usually appear to us when we are in a great predicament.

I am against nature. I don't dig nature at all. I think nature is very unnatural. I think the truly natural things are dreams which nature can't touch with decay.

Judge of your natural character by what you do in your dreams.

Let me pose you a question. Can farm-raised salmon be organic when its feed has nothing to do with its natural diet even if the feed itself is supposedly organic and the fish themselves are packed tightly in pens swimming in their own filth?

The very fact that we are having a national conversation about what we should eat that we are struggling with the question about what the best diet is is symptomatic of how far we have strayed from the natural conditions that gave rise to our species from the simple act of eating real whole fresh food.

There's no quick or magical way to lose weight. You just have to do it the natural way - diet and exercise and stick to it - and be able to do it at your own pace.

I am not naturally that thin so I had to go through everything from using drugs to diet pills to laxatives to fasting. Those were my main ways of controlling my weight.

Looking back video game design seems a natural fit although there was no such thing when I was growing up. I built a Tic-Tac-Toe playing machine in my teens which went up in smoke on the night it was scheduled to go to a science fair.

I think gardens are fantastic and I'd love to draw and design and stuff like that. I love just planting flowers during the summer. There's something very humble about it and natural and beautiful.

Britain's great strength is its innovative design and engineering natural ability and we're not using it.

People need jobs people need happy and successful lives there should be marriage between one man and one woman there should the value of person from conception until natural death.

We worry about the seemingly ever-increasing number of natural catastrophes. Yet this is mainly a consequence of CNN - we see many more but the number is roughly constant and we manage to deal much better with them over time. Globally the death rate from catastrophes has dropped about fifty-fold over the past century.

Everything that is necessary is also easy. You just have to accept it. And the most necessary the most natural matter on this planet is death.
