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
It is the genus that gives the characters, and not the characters that make the genus.
![Carl Linnaeus Quote - 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.](https://minimalistquotes.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/the-species-and-the-genus-are-always-the-work-of-n-683x1024.jpg)
