| “What is the extinction of a condor to a child who has never seen a wren?” Naturalist Robert Michael Pyle “To a person uninstructed in natural history, his country or seaside stroll is a walk through a gallery filled with wonderful works of art, nine-tenths of which have their faces turned to the wall” Thomas Huxley “I go to nature to be soothed and healed, and to have my senses put in tune once again”. John Burroughs “Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find reserves of strength that will endure as long as life lasts”. Rachel Carson ‘When I see birches bend to the left and right… I like to think some boy has been swinging them”. Robert Frost “The voice of Nature is always encouraging”. Henry David Thoreau “I am well again, I came to life in the cool winds and crystal waters of the mountains” John Muir “Let Nature be your teacher” William Wordsworth “Beauty, unlike Love or Friendship or even Life, brings its own sweet reward. You don't have to bring Beauty into existence. You don't have to work at it. All that is required is that you appreciate it”. “Everybody needs beauty as well as bread, places to play in and pray in, where nature may heal and give strength to body and soul”. John Muir “Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better”. ~Albert Einstein “Those who dwell among the beauties and mysteries of the earth are never alone or weary of life”. Rachel Carson “Nothing is more beautiful than the loveliness of the woods before sunrise”. George Washington Carver “You will find something more in woods than in books. Trees and stones will teach you that which you can never learn from masters”. St. Bernard “Nature is the art of God’ Thomas Browne, Religio Medici, 1635 “A society grows great when old men plant trees whose shade they know they shall never sit in”. Greek Proverb “In wilderness I sense the miracle of life, and behind it our scientific accomplishments fade to trivia." Charles A. Lindbergh, Life, 22 December 1967 “Thousands of tired, nerve-shaken, over-civilized people are beginning to find out that going to the mountain is going home; that wildness is necessity; that mountain parks and reservations are useful not only as fountains of timber and irrigating rivers, but as fountains of life”. John Muir “It is not so much for its beauty that the forest makes a claim upon men's hearts, as for that subtle something, that quality of air that emanation from old trees, that so wonderfully changes and renews a weary spirit”. Robert Louis Stevenson “To protect what is wild is to protect what is gentle. Perhaps the wilderness we fear is the pause within our own heartbeats, the silent space that says we live only by grace. Wilderness lives by this same grace." Terry Tempest Williams |
Saving Clover Valley - Nature quotes

| Be a gentle friend to trees and they will give you back beauty, cool and fragrant shade, and many birds, singing. My profession is to always find God in nature. - Henry David Thoreau Keep your sense of proportion by regularly, preferably daily, visiting the natural world. - Catlin Matthews To sit in the shade on a fine day and look upon the verdant green hills is the most perfect refreshment. - Jane Austin Discovering this idyllic place, we find ourselves filled with a yearning to linger here, where time stands still and beauty overwhelms. The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quiet, alone with the heavens, nature and God. - Anne Frank Delight in the beauty that surrounds you. Lose yourself in nature and find peace Flowers are heaven's masterpiece. - Dorothy Parker When I bought my farm, I did not know what a bargain I had in the bluebirds, daffodils and thrushes; as little did I know what sublime mornings and sunsets I was buying. - Ralph Waldo Emerson God is the friend of silence. Trees, flowers, grass grow in silence. See the stars, moon, and sun, how they move in silence. - Mother Teresa Our natural world is alive with beauty and wonder. It's important for our peace of mind and our enthusiasm for life to love the world we live in and care for the earth and all living things. - Unknown |
| To experience the sights, sounds, and smells of Nature in Clover Valley is soothing and calming for the human spirit. One always feels better after a visit in Mother Nature’s realm. If Clover Valley is developed, the sights, sounds, and smells of Nature's handy work will be severely corroded and limited in this pristine valley.....far into the future - Save Clover Valley Coalition |
