Wisdom of Earth, Gaia

Nature is slow, but sure; she works no faster than need be; she is the tortoise that wins the race by her perseverance.
Henry David Thoreau

As well expect Nature to answer to your human values as to come into your house and sit in a chair. The economy of nature, its checks and balances, its measurements of competing life – all this is its great marvel and has an ethic of its own.
Henry Beston

Nature uses as little as possible of anything.
Johannes Kepler

Adopt the pace of nature: her secret is patience.
