One way to open your eyes is to ask yourself, 'What if I had never seen this before? What if I knew I would never see it again?'

Those who dwell among the beauties and mysteries of the earth are never alone or weary of life.

To stand at the edge of the sea, to sense the ebb and flow of the tides, to feelthe breath of a mist moving over a great salt marsh, to watch the flight of shore birds that have swept up and down the surf lines of the continents for untold thousands of year, to see the running of the old eels and the young shad to the sea, is to have knowledge of things that are as nearly eternal as any earthly life can be.

If facts are the seeds that later produce knowledge and wisdom, then the emotions and the impressions of the senses are the fertile soil in which the seeds must grow.

In an age when man has forgotten his origins and is blind even to his most essential needs for survival, water along with other resources has become the victim of his indifference

We stand now where two roads diverge. But unlike the roads in Robert Frost's familiar poem, they are not equally fair. The road we have long been traveling is deceptively easy, a smooth superhighway on which we progress with great speed, but at its end lies disaster. The other fork of the road / the one less traveled by / offers our last, our only chance to reach a destination that assures the preservation of the earth.

It is the public that is being asked to assume the risks...
the public must decide whether it wishes to continue
on the present road and it can only do so
when in full possession of the facts..."

In every outthrust headland, in every curving beach, in every grain of sand there is the story of the earth.

It occurred to me that if this were a sight that could be seen only once in a century, this little headland would be thronged with spectators.

Millions of stars blazed in darkness, and on the far shore a few lights burned in cottages. Otherwise there was no reminder of human life.

If I had influence with the good fairy who is supposed to preside over the christening of all children, I should ask that her gift to each child in the world be a sense of wonder so indestructible that it would last throughout life

Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find resources of strength that will endure as long as life lasts
