It’s easy to forget that we’re part of nature. We live in an insulated home and wake up with the blinds down. We get ready for the day with a dozen products that come out of tubes and boxes. We breathe fresh air for less than a minute on our way from the door to the car, and again on our way from the car into the office.

So much of our existence is about shielding us from the natural world. Still, we’re organisms on this green Earth. We’re creatures who feed off its bounties. We’re humbled by its power with every storm. Our very existence is based on Mother Nature’s whims.

Countless nature quotes have gone down in the history books as we try to understand nature and our place in it. History’s great thinkers, leaders, artists, and personalities have each had a different spin on the subject, and the resulting treasure of nature quotes is now yours to peruse.

Mother Nature, also called Mother Earth, is the personification of the natural world. Everything about her—the water, the air, the flora, and fauna—creates more life, which is where the idea of “mothering” began. Religions and philosophies from everywhere have looked at nature as a maternal “giver,” but also a mother to be revered.

Mother Nature can be as formidable as she can be nurturing, and these handpicked quotes capture her complex essence.

Funny nature quote to make you smile (and, of course, get outdoors).

Cute nature quotes shelve the deep-thinking topics and turn instead to a good laugh. Nature is beautiful, it’s therapeutic, and it’s inspirational. That doesn’t mean, though, that we can’t laugh at ourselves in nature—or at Nature herself.

Some of these funny nature quotes make a dry stab at something cliché. Others personify nature in a less-than-graceful way. Still others call out the messy way we interact with her.

Tips to put nature quotes to good use.

Nature is admirable, formidable, and utterly extraordinary. The 96 nature quotes above only scratch the surface of what humankind has said and observed about it.

Yet, in a surprisingly short time, we’ve become creatures of an artificial indoor world. There are few of us who interact with soil, or river water, or living plant life on a daily basis.

Put these nature quotes to good use in every kind of project, because our world needs to see them. Imagine what impact these quotes could have in:

Exercise: Is it time you got outside more, too?

Set aside some time to explore a natural area. Then, try this:

Go to that spot with a reasonable amount of time to explore (at least an hour).

Draw, take notes, or snap photos of everything that catches your eye, like the color of a flower, the texture of a tree, or the ripples of who-knows-what under the water’s surface.

Then, each day after that, choose one of those details. See how many more examples of that detail you can find in the natural world nearby. How many more things of the same color? How many things with the same texture? You’ll be surprised how much more you appreciate the world around you.
