Every person has the inalienable right to a decent environment.

The ultimate test of a man's conscience may be his willingness to sacrifice something today for future generations whose words of thanks will not be heard.

The most important environmental issue is one that is rarely mentioned, and that is the lack of a conservation ethic in our culture.

The fate of the living planet is the most important issue facing mankind.

Loads of chemicals and hazardous wastes have been introduced into the atmosphere that didn't even exist in 1948. The environmental condition of the planet is far worse than it was 42 years ago.

Our air, water, soil, forests, oceans, rivers, lakes, scenic beauty, wildlife habitat, minerals, that is the wealth of the country.

There is a great need for the introduction of new values in our society, where bigger is not necessarily better, where slower can be faster, and where less can be more.

We must realize that we're all part of a web of life around the world. Anytime you extinguish a species, the consequences are serious.

We're going to have to do a whole lot more, and give nature at least a chance to repair some of the damage we've done.

If we continue to address the issue of the environment where we live as though we're the only species that lives here, we'll create a disaster for ourselves

Dr. S. Dillon Ripley, secretary of the Smithsonian Institute, believes that in 25 years, somewhere between 75 and 80 percent of all the species of living animals will be extinct.

Life doesn't just happen to you

What seems to be a chaotic life is just a systematic, engineered Life driven for a purpose!!! The day you find peace in chaos, the game changes!

And anyway, once you allowed yourself to picture such a scenario, it couldn't happen. That was just the way life went.

I'm not praying for an easy life, but for God to give me strength to overcome life's circumstances

Somehow the sting of guilt was always more acute when there was a risk that she might get caught.

Best be yourself, imperial, plain, and true.

I seek to humble myself, so I won't attract the harsh experiences that will.

Golf is the only opportunity that middle-aged WASPs have to dress up like a pimp.

The crowd did not dream when they laid down their money that they would see a total eclipse of the Sonny!
