If someone wrote that, then their reasoning leaves much to be desired!\n\nOvercome Nature?  Try controlling an earthquake!  Or maybe you can shut off the rain, why not make the oceans be still so that there are no more waves?\n\nMaybe you want to shut off SEX between male and female?

Our nature is to be better. No one is ever satisfied with what they have. For example, didn't Michael Jordan have enough after winning 3 championships. NO! He wanted more.\nTiger Woods has already won a lot of majors, but has he had enough. NO! We all want to be the best we can in our life to live a better life and strive for perfection. But the only problem is that no human knows the definition of perfection and thats why no matter what we have, it just isn't enough.

Do you mean who/what is the voice in William Wordsworth's Airey-Force Valley?  (could the voice be that of nature? i.e., the sound of the waterfall or the sound of the wind in the trees) Or, are you thinking of his poem The Unremitting Voice of Nightly Streams?

This one is my personal favorite, "People have a hard time letting go of their suffering. Out of a fear of the unknown, they prefer suffering that is familiar." -Thich Nhat Hanh, Buddhist monk and poet \n\nIt reminds me not to get stuck in the every day frustrations and try something new, that just because it's comfortable doesn't mean it's healthy or the best thing for me.  :o)

From the New Testament:\n\nThe Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5-7)\n\n"Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you." Matthew 5:44\n\n"Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good."  Romans 12.21\n\nThe basic thought can be found in the speeches of leaders such as Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr.\n\nOver 2000 years ago, the Latin poet Virgil said that love conquers all.

The only person I can find credited for that is Eden Ahbez who is the songwriter who penned 'Nature Boy' in 1948. Incidently he believed the lyric needed correcting "To be loved in return, is too much of a deal, and that has nothing to do with love."

Hunter S. Thompson. The entire quote is: 'Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! What a Ride!"' \n\nHope I helped!!

Einstein:  "We cannot solve our problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them."\n\nPretty much sums it up, eh?  ;-)

I read this quote somewhere, and it really spoke volumes of truth and inspiration to me. I stumbled upon it at a time when I wasn't feeling very confident about myself, but from the time I read it, I don't burden myself with senseless insecurities anymore. \n\nIt's from a rather unexpected person, but, credit must be given where credit is due:\n\n"People often say that 'beauty is in the eye of the beholder,' and I say that the most liberating thing about beauty is realizing that you are the beholder. This empowers us to find beauty in places where others have not dared to look, including inside ourselves."\nSalma Hayek

Thomas Jefferson -\n" Those who would give up Freedom for Safety\nDeserve neither Safety or Freedom."\n\n\nseems clear enough

"Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art... It has no survival value; rather is one of those things that give value to survival."\n- C. S. Lewis
