Natural capital is easy to overlook because it is the pond we swim in. One can live perfectly well without ever giving a thought to the sulfur cycle or wetland functions. Only when the benefits nature provides are disrupted do we take notice.

Natural disasters are terrifying - that loss of control, this feeling that something is just going to randomly end your life for absolutely no reason is terrifying. But, what scares me is the human reaction to it and how people behave when the rules of civility and society are obliterated.
‐‐ Eli Roth
Natural disasters in Bolivia have been getting worse with the passage of time. It's brought about by a system: the capitalist system, the unbridled industrialization of the resources of the Planet Earth.

Natural DNA is a tractless coil, like an unwound and tangled audiotape on the floor of the car in the dark.
‐‐ Kary Mullis
Natural erosion had reduced the critical barrier islands in the Gulf, the result of the destruction of some 300,000 acres of wetlands. This amounted to 30 miles of marshlands.
‐‐ Mortimer Zuckerman
Natural forces within us are the true healers of disease.
‐‐ Hippocrates
Natural gas emits only half the carbon dioxide of coal when burned, but if methane leaks when oil companies extract it from the ground in a sloppy manner - methane is far more potent a greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide - it can wipe out all the advantages of natural gas over coal.
‐‐ Thomas Friedman
Natural gas is a better transportation fuel than gasoline, so if that's the case, it's cheaper, it's cleaner and it's a domestic resource.
‐‐ T. Boone Pickens
Natural gas is a dirty fossil fuel like the rest of them.
‐‐ Josh Fox
Natural gas is a feedstock in basically every industrial process.
‐‐ Aubrey McClendon
Natural gas is better distributed than any other fuel in the United States. It's down every street and up every alley. There's a pipeline.
‐‐ T. Boone Pickens
Natural gas is great for America in so many ways.
‐‐ Ed Rendell
Natural gas is hemispheric. I like to call it hemispheric in nature because it is a product that we can find in our neighborhoods.
‐‐ George W. Bush
Natural gas is the best transportation fuel. It's better than gasoline or diesel. It's cleaner, it's cheaper, and it's domestic. Natural gas is 97 percent domestic fuel, North America.
‐‐ T. Boone Pickens
Natural gas is the future. It is here.
‐‐ Bill Richardson
Natural gas is the one fuel that we have that's affordable, it's scaleable, it can replace coal over time, it can replace imported oil, can create American jobs.
‐‐ Aubrey McClendon
Natural gas obviously brings with it a number of quality-of-life environmental benefits because it is a relatively clean-burning fuel. It has a CO2 footprint, but it has no particulates. It has none of the other emissions elements that are of concern to public health that other forms of power-generation fuels do have: coal, fuel oil, others.
‐‐ Rex Tillerson
Natural gas will displace coal in power generation. Getting natural gas into the transportation fleet is harder. It works best for vehicles that work from centralized fueling facilities like trucking fleets or buses and cabs. That is happening. Before it can make big inroads beyond that, infrastructure is going to need to be developed.

Natural history is not about producing fables.

Natural hydration is a key factor in any type of sports performance.
‐‐ Bikram Choudhury
'Natural' is a word that has become unmoored by its meanings. If you go into a vitamin shop, things are natural, and people look at that, and they think it's good. It's no different than any other thing you swallow.
‐‐ Michael Specter
Natural life, lived naturally as it is lived in the countryside, has none of that progress which is the base of happiness. Men and women in rural communities can be compared to a spring that rises out of a rock and spreads in irregular ever-widening circles. But the general principle is static.
‐‐ Patrick Kavanagh
Natural objects, for example, must be experienced before any theorizing about them can occur.
‐‐ Edmund Husserl
Natural or artificial stimulation of nerves gives rise to a process of progressive excitation in them, leading to a response in the effector organ of the nerves concerned.
‐‐ Otto Loewi
Natural playgrounds may decrease bullying.
‐‐ Richard Louv
Natural science will in time incorporate into itself the science of man, just as the science of man will incorporate into itself natural science: there will be one science.
‐‐ Karl Marx
Natural selection, as it has operated in human history, favors not only the clever but the murderous.
‐‐ Barbara Ehrenreich
Natural selection eliminates and maybe maintains, but it doesn't create.
‐‐ Lynn Margulis
Natural selection has duped us with an emotion that encourages group thinking. It is an emotion that makes us act as if for the good of the group; an emotion that brings pleasure, pride, or even thrills from coordinated group activity.
‐‐ Mark Pagel
Natural selection is a mechanism for generating an exceedingly high degree of improbability.
‐‐ Ronald Fisher
Natural selection is anything but random.
‐‐ Richard Dawkins
Natural selection is not an inflammatory phrase; evolution is.
‐‐ Peter Agre
Natural selection is not evolution.
‐‐ Ronald Fisher
Natural selection is not gene centrist and nor is biology all about genes; our comprehending minds are a result of our fast evolving culture.
‐‐ Daniel Dennett
Natural Selection never made it come to pass, as a habit of nature, that an unsupported stone should move downwards rather than upwards. It applies to no part of inorganic nature, and is very limited even in the phenomena of organic life.
‐‐ Chauncey Wright
Natural selection shaped the human brain to be drawn toward aspects of nature that enhance our survival and reproduction, like verdant landscapes and docile creatures. There is no payoff to getting the warm fuzzies in the presence of rats, snakes, mosquitoes, cockroaches, herpes simplex and the rabies virus.
‐‐ Paul Bloom
Natural selection will not remove ignorance from future generations.
‐‐ Richard Dawkins
Natural Texas politicians make terrible, terrible presidential candidates. Phil Gramm, I remember the 'Phil Gramm for President' campaign. I thought that was the worst thing in the history of the world, but Rick Perry was possibly worse.
‐‐ Gail Collins
Naturalism aimed at giving the primitive wishes full play but failed because these wishes are too primitive, too infantile, too inconsistent with themselves to be satisfied even by the greatest license.
‐‐ John Desmond Bernal
Naturalism teaches one of the most important things in this world. There is only this life, so live wonderfully and meaningfully.
‐‐ Greg Graffin
Naturalists, like poets, are born and then made only by years of painstaking observation.
‐‐ John Burroughs
Naturalization is the process by which a citizen, or subject of a foreign nation or kingdom, is made a citizen of the United States. It is evident that the Constitutional Convention thought that it was important that this process should be placed under the exclusive control of the Federal Government and not of the States.
‐‐ Samuel Freeman Miller
Naturally, business and pleasure can be readily combined, but a certain balance should exist, and the latter should not predominate over the former.
‐‐ Fredrik Bajer
Naturally enough, I couldn't have foreseen the vast sea change which has come upon that scene as a result of German reunification and associated events.
‐‐ Brian Ferneyhough
Naturally enough when I was a young dancer, I was terribly anxious to get ahead, and to get ahead quickly. I was impatient with all those older people who talked of the long grind to the top, who turned me down for jobs I knew I could do.
‐‐ Anna Neagle
Naturally, everybody has certain things they wish they hadn't done in life. They wish they hadn't kicked their dog when they were ten or something.
‐‐ Clint Eastwood
Naturally, everything boils down to relationships in my books.
‐‐ S. E. Hinton
Naturally I drew register a little exaggerated, in order to create something new in the sense of a sublime literature that sings of despair only in order to oppress the reader, and make him desire the good as the remedy.
‐‐ Comte de Lautreamont
Naturally, I have compensated in my adult years by owning very large numbers of books.
