• The longing to behold this pre-established harmony [of phenomena and theoretical principles] is the source of the inexhaustible patience and perseverance with which Planck has devoted himself ...

• Flower god, god of the spring, beautiful, bountiful,
  Cold-dyed shield in the sky, lover of versicles,
  Here I wander in April
  Cold, grey-headed; and still to my
  Heart, Spring comes with a bound, Spring the deliverer,
  Spring, song-leader in woods, chorally resonant;
  Spring, flower-planter in meadows,
  Child-conductor in willowy
  Fields deep dotted with bloom, daisies and crocuses:
  Here that child from his heart drinks of eternity:
  O child, happy are children!

• This new world hath been the asylum for the persecuted lovers of civil and religious liberty from every part of Europe. Hither have they fled, not from the tender embraces of the mother, but from the cruelty of the monster; and it is so far true of England, that the same tyranny which drove the first emigrants from home, pursues their descendants still.

  For all lovers true to admire.

• Water, whether still or in motion, has so great an attraction for the lover of nature, that the most beautiful landscape seems scarcely complete without it. There are no effects so fascinating as those produced by the reflexions in nature's living mirror, with their delicacy of form, ever fleeting and changing, and their subtle combinations of colour.

  William Montagu-Pollock

For it giveth unto all lovers courage, that lusty month of May.

• I think the true gardener is a lover of his flowers, not a critic of them. I think the true gardener is the reverent servant of Nature, not her truculent, wife-beating master. I think the true gardener, the older he grows, should more and more develop a humble, grateful and uncertain spirit.

• Gossip isn't scandal and it's not merely malicious. It's chatter about the human race by lovers of the same. Gossip is the tool of the poet, the shop-talk of the scientist, and the consolation of the housewife, wit, tycoon and intellectual. It begins in the nursery and ends when speech is past.
