If men believe, as I do, that this present earth is the only heaven, they will strive all the more to make heaven of it.
-Sir Arthur Keith

Yeah, Pops was right, it's a wonderful world.

We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children.
-Haida Indian Saying

We are all on a spaceship, and the spaceship is called earth. Four billion passengers--and no skippers.

Underground nuclear testing, defoliation of the rain forests, toxic waste ... Let's put it this way: if the world were a big apartment, we wouldn't get our deposit back.
-John Ross

Myth: we have to save the earth. Frankly, the earth doesn't need to be saved. Nature doesn't give a hoot if human beings are here or not. The planet has survived cataclysmic and catastrophic changes for millions upon millions of years. Over that time, it is widely believed, 99 percent of all species have come and gone while the planet has remained. Saving the environment is really about saving our environment - making it safe for ourselves, our children, and the world as we know it. If more people saw the issue as one of saving themselves, we would probably see increased motivation and commitment to actually do so.
-Robert M. Lilienfeld & William L. Rathje

Laugh, and the world laughs with you; / Weep, and you weep alone. / For this brave old earth must borrow its mirth, / But has trouble enough of its own.
-Ella Wheeler Wilcox
