Unfortunately, little attention was paid to how Arafat ruled. In fact, some saw the harsh and repressive nature of Arafat's regime as actually bolstering the prospects for peace.

I think that some of our soldiers die in the battlefield and some come home to bad health and die prematurely, just by the nature of the kind of business they're in.

It often happens that when a person possesses a particular ability to an extraordinary degree, nature makes up for it by leaving him or her incompetent in every other department.

I admire people who are, by nature, kind and fair to others.

The idea is that there is a kind of memory in nature. Each kind of thing has a collective memory. So, take a squirrel living in New York now. That squirrel is being influenced by all past squirrels.

Most of nature is inherently chaotic. It's not rigidly determined in the old sense. It's not rigidly predictable.

The very winds whispered in soothing accents, and maternal Nature bade me weep no more.

Only nature knows how to justly proportion to the fault the punishment it deserves.

Pity those who nature abuses; never those who abuse nature.

I'm cursed with empathy. I'm also by nature way too opinionated.

Nature abhors a hero. For one thing, he violates the law of conservation of energy. For another, how can it be the survival of the fittest when the fittest keeps putting himself in situations where he is most likely to be creamed?

The roots of racism lie deep in man's nature, wounded and bruised by original sin.

Fruits are always of the same nature with the seeds and roots from which they come, and trees are known by the fruits they bear: as a man begets a man, and a beast a beast, that society of men which constitutes a government upon the foundation of justice.

It is the nature of the strong heart, that like the palm tree it strives ever upwards when it is most burdened.

Man's nature, originally good and common to all, should develop unhampered.

Most of us really aren't horribly unique. There are 6 billion of us. Put 'em all in one room and very few would stand out as individuals. So maybe we ought to think of worth in terms of our ability to get along as a part of nature, rather than being the lords over nature.

Human nature is the same now as when Adam hid from the presence of God; the consciousness of wrong makes us unwilling to meet those whom we have offended.

The temptations to wrong are many; they spring out of a corrupt nature.
