More quotes by Carl Linnaeus
Blessed be the Lord for the beauty of summer and spring, for the air, the water, the verdure, and the song of birds.
Carl Linnaeus
Nature's economy shall be the base for our own, for it is immutable, but ours is secondary. An economist without knowledge of nature is therefore like a physicist without knowledge of mathematics.
Carl Linnaeus
There is no generation from an egg in the Mineral Kingdom. Hence no vascular circulation of the humours as in the remaining Natural Kingdoms.
Carl Linnaeus
It is not God, but people themselves who shorten their lives by not keeping physically fit.
Carl Linnaeus
Fragments of the natural method must be sought with the greatest care. This is the first and last desideratum among botanists. Nature makes no jumps. [Natura non facit saltus] All taxa show relationships on all sides like the countries on a map of the world.
Carl Linnaeus
The species and the genus are always the work of nature [i.e. specially created] the variety mostly that of circumstance the class and the order are the work of nature and art.
Carl Linnaeus
If you do not know the names of things, the knowledge of them is lost, too.
Carl Linnaeus
There are some viviparous flies, which bring forth 2,000 young. These in a little time would fill the air, and like clouds intercept the rays of the sun, unless they were devoured by birds, spiders, and many other animals.
Carl Linnaeus
Natural bodies are divided into three kingdomes of nature: viz. the mineral, vegetable, and animal kingdoms. Minerals grow, Plants grow and live, Animals grow, live, and have feeling.
Carl Linnaeus
As one sits here in summertime and listens to the cuckoo and all the other bird songs, the crackling and buzzing of insects, as one gazes at the shining colors of flowers, doth one become dumbstruck before the Kingdom of the Creator.
Carl Linnaeus
A practical botanist will distinguish at the first glance the plant of the different quarters of the globe and yet will be at a loss to tell by what marks he detects them.
Carl Linnaeus
Nature does not proceed by leaps.
Carl Linnaeus
We admit as many genera as there are different groups of natural species of which the fructification has the same structure.
Carl Linnaeus
In natural science the principles of truth ought to be confirmed by observation.
Carl Linnaeus
Linnea.... A plant of Lapland, lowly, insignificant, disregarded, flowering but for a brief space - from Linnaeus who resembles it.
Carl Linnaeus
There are as many species as the infinite being created diverse forms in the beginning, which, following the laws of generation, produced many others, but always similar to them: therefore there are as many species as we have different structures before us today.
Carl Linnaeus
To live by medicine is to live horribly.
Carl Linnaeus
I demand of you, and of the whole world, that you show me a generic character... by which to distinguish between Man and Ape. I myself most assuredly know of none.
Carl Linnaeus
The plant kingdom covers the entire earth, offering our senses great pleasure and the delights of summer.
Carl Linnaeus
Botany is based on fixed genera.
Carl Linnaeus
