NUGGETS OF WISDOM - 1170

 

  • ·       “These temple destroyers, devotees of ravaging commercialism, seem to have a perfect contempt for Nature, and, instead of lifting their eyes to the God of the mountains, lift them to the Almighty Dollar.” ~ John Muir

    ·       “Only when the last tree has died and the last river been poisoned and the last fish been caught will we realize we cannot eat money.” ~ Cree Indian Proverb

    ·       “A nation that destroys its soils destroys itself. Forests are the lungs of our land, purifying the air and giving fresh strength to our people.” ~ Franklin D. Roosevelt

    ·       “You only talk about moving forward with the same bad ideas that got us into this mess, even when the only sensible thing to do is pull the emergency brake. You are not mature enough to tell it like it is. Even that burden you leave to us children.” ~ Greta Thunberg

    ·       “The use of solar energy has not been opened up because the oil industry does not own the sun.” ~ Ralph Nader

    ·       “Suburbia is where the developer bulldozes out the trees, then names the streets after them.” ~ Bill Vaughan

    ·       “Until a man duplicates a blade of grass, Nature can laugh at his so-called scientific knowledge. Remedies from chemicals will never stand in favorable comparison with the products of Nature, the living cell of a plant, the final result of the rays of the sun, the mother of all life.” ~ Thomas Alva Edison
