I predict that many teams will go out of business and the size of the leagues will be greatly reduced.

To eliminate the concept of waste means to design things-products, packaging, and systems-from the very beginning on the understanding that waste does not exist.

Designing renders visible our hopes and dreams. It is the first signal of human intentions.

Waste equals food, whether it's food for the earth, or for a closed industrial cycle. We manufacture products that go from cradle to grave. We want to manufacture them from cradle to cradle.

The Stone Age did not end because humans ran out of stones. It ended because it was time for a re-think about how we live.

If anybody here has trouble with the concept of design humility, reflect on this: It took us 5,000 years to put wheels on our luggage.

In the end, the question is not, how do we use nature to serve our interests? It's how can we use humans to serve nature's interest?'

Here's where redesign begins in earnest, where we stop trying to be less bad and we start figuring out how to be good.

Our goal is a delightfully diverse, safe, healthy, and just world, with clean air, water, soil and power – economically, equitably, ecologically and elegantly enjoyed.

The surest way to heal an eco-system is to connect it to more of itself.

If we think about things having multiple lives, cradle to cradle, we could design things that can go back to either nature or back to industry forever.

If you want people to dance to your tune, sing beautiful songs.

Ordinary imperfect people, always choose similarly imperfect people as friends.

People don't always express their inner thoughts to one another; a conversation may be quite trivial, but often the eyes will reveal what a person really thinks or feels.

Mothers are the most instinctive philosophers.

My concern is less the monarchy as such than the attempt of a fading colonial power to hang onto grandeur.

I always think the toughest commentary is on a bad goalless draw. If I were assessing a young commentator, I would rate him on a game where nothing is happening.

It isn't what I do, but how I do it. It isn't what I say, but how I say it, and how I look when I do it and say it.

The powers that be not only try to control events, but they try to control our memory and understanding of these events, which is part of controlling the events themselves.

I believe primary and secondary education is the bedrock of any sustainable society.

Everything which originates from pure love is lit with the radiance of beauty.
