1 " Give the pupils something to do, not something to learn; and the doing is of such a nature as to demand thinking; learning naturally results. "
― John Dewey
2 " The event of falling in love is of such a nature that we are right to reject as intolerable the idea that it should be transitory. In one high bound it has overleaped the massive of our selfhood; it has made appetite itself altruistic, tossed personal happiness aside as a triviality and planted the interests of another in the centre of our being. Spontaneously and without effort we have fulfilled the law (towards one person) by loving our neighbour as ourselves. It is an image, a foretaste, of what we must become to all if Love Himself rules in us without a rival. It is even (well used) a preparation for that. "
― C.S. Lewis , The Four Loves
3 " The most stringent protection of free speech would not protect a man in falsely shouting fire in a theatre and causing a panic... The question in every case is whether the words used are used in such circumstances and are of such a nature as to create a clear and present danger that they will bring about the substantive evils that Congress has a right to prevent. "
4 " If the machine of government is of such a nature that it requires you to be the agent of injustice to another, then, I say, break the law. "
― Henry David Thoreau
