There are no passengers on Spaceship Earth.  We are all crew.

~ Marshall McLuhan, 1911 - 1980

If you will think of ourselves as coming out of the earth,
rather than having been thrown in here from somewhere else,
you see that we are the earth,
we are the consciousness of the earth.
These are the eyes of the Earth.
And this is the voice of the earth.
~ Joseph Campbell, 1904 - 1987

There is a way that nature speaks, that land speaks.

Most of the time we are simply not patient enough,

quiet enough, to pay attention to the story.
~ Linda Hogan, 1947 -

Nature is just enough;

but men and women must comprehend and accept her suggestions.

~ Antoinette Brown Blackwell, 1825 - 1921

To waste, to destroy, our natural resources, to skin and exhaust
the land instead of using it so as to increase it's usefulness, will
result in undermining in the days of our children the very property
which we ought by right to hand down to them amplified and developed.
~ Theodore Roosevelt, 1858 - 1919

To me a lush carpet of pine needles or spongy grass

is more welcome than the most luxurious Persian rug.
~ Helen Keller, 1880 - 1968

A true conservationist is a man who knows that

the world is not given by his fathers, but borrowed from his children.

~ John James Audubon, 1785 - 1851

Who has not found the heaven below
Will fail of it above.
God's residence is next to mine,
His furniture is love.

~ Emily Dickinson, 1830 - 1886

No matter where you go, there you are!

~ Buckaroo Banzai, 1950 - 

The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy is to go outside,

somewhere where they can be quiet, alone with the heavens, nature and God.

Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be and that God

wishes to see people happy, amidst the simple beauty of nature.

~ Anne Frank, 1929 - 1945
