"Unless a tree has borne blossoms in spring, you will vainly look for fruit on it in autumn." ― Walter Scott Topic(s): Nature More From Walter Scott "One crowded hour of glorious life is worth an age without a name." "A lawyer without history or literature is a mechanic, a mere working mason; if he possesses some knowledge of these, he may venture to call himself an architect." "For success, attitude is equally as important as ability." More In Nature "High Romanticism shows you nature in all its harsh and lovely metamorphoses. Flood, fire and quake fling us back to the primal struggle for survival and reveal our gross dependency on mammoth, still mysterious forces."― Camille Paglia "In all things of nature there is something of the marvelous."― Aristotle "But I’m a hot-blooded Italian by nature. Whatever the situation you present, I’m going to make something out of it."― Maynard James Keenan
