A beautiful quote from another website, emphasis mine:
“A wise old mother is Nature—
She guideth her children’s feet
In many a flowery pathway; And her strong life-currents beat, Sometimes in intricate channels— As a mountain stream may run— But ever her purpose triumphs, And ever the goal is won. Her eyes are the eyes of Argus, And she utters her decree: The brook shall come to the river, And the river shall reach the sea.”
