(John Conyers)
Everybody needs beauty as well as bread, places to play in and pray in, where Nature may heal and cheer and give strength to body and soul alike.
(John Muir)
The one permanent emotion of the inferior man is fear - fear of the unknown, the complex, the inexplicable. What he wants beyond everything else is safety.
(H. L. Mencken)
All problems become smaller if you don't dodge them, but confront them. Touch a thistle timidly, and it pricks you; grasp it boldly, and its spines crumble.
(William S. Halsey)
The law courts must appear as a threatening gesture toward secret vice. The bank must declare: here your money is secure and well looked after by honest people.
(Adolf Loos)
May we not succumb to thoughts of violence and revenge today, but rather to thoughts of mercy and compassion. We are to love our enemies that they might be returned to their right minds.
(Marianne Williamson)
Pledge for Nature Lovers: To maintain and defend for the benefit and enjoyment of nature lovers the Pacific Crest Trail way as a primitive wilderness pathway in an environment of solitude, free from the sights and sounds of a mechanically disturbed nature.
(Clinton Clarke)
Without ambition one starts nothing. Without work one finishes nothing. The prize will not be sent to you. As to methods there may be a million and then some, but the principles are few. The man who grasps principles can successfully select his own methods. The man who tries methods, ignoring principles, is sure to have trouble.)
(Ralph Waldo Emerson)
