The word nature is derived from the Latin word natura, which means essential qualities, innate disposition, and in ancient times, literally meant “birth”. It can also be defined as the phenomena of the physical world collectively, including plants, animals, the landscape, and other features and products of the earth, as opposed to humans or human creations.

As said by Thomas Browne, “Nature is the art of God” and I must say that, it is the most beautiful art that everyone can enjoy for free. Sharing few quotations on nature by famous people, to let you know how they defined nature. Hope you enjoy reading them.
