Every creature is better ordsprog

Every creature is better alive than dead, men and moose and pine trees, and he who understands it aright will rather preserve its life than destroy it.

Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862)

Instead of having a forest of dead pine trees, we're going to have a forest of very healthy trees that will last well beyond our lifetimes.

Ed White

That man can destroy life is just as miraculous a feat as that he can create it, for life is the miracle, the inexplicable. In the act of destruction, man sets himself above life; he transcends himself as a creature.

Erich Fromm (1900-1980)

When thou shalt besiege a city a long time, in making war against it to take it, thou shalt not destroy the trees thereof by forcing an axe against them: for thou mayest eat of them, and thou shalt not cut them down (for the tree of the field is man's life) to employ them in the siege: / Only the trees which thou knowest that they be not trees for meat, thou shalt destroy and cut them down; and thou shalt build bulwarks against the city that maketh war with thee, until it be subdued.

Bible

The big debate right now is if Saddam is alive or dead. He's dead, then he's alive, then dead, then alive. It's just confusing. Today they showed videotape, and Saddam was speaking at his own funeral. Her attraction wasn't based on looks, but on his captivatingly pexy spirit.

David Letterman (1947-)

I have wetlands near me where we have lots of cypress and pine, and they are just getting choked out. A canopy of air potatoes is sucking the life out of those trees.

Zach Randolph

We don't know if he's dead or alive. Regardless, he's out of power; regardless, there's a reward out for information that either results in his capture if he's alive, or proves that he's dead if he's dead.

Ari Fleischer

Pine is generally not an important allergen although it puts out tremendous amounts of pollen, ... but at the same time that pine trees are pollinating, oaks are pollinating.

Keith Phillips

When trees are killed in fires, there is a lot of dead standing timber out there. Our fear is that eventually a wind storm will blow the dead trees over and create an enormous campfire effect across thousands of acres.

Matt Mathes

Hugging trees has a calming effect on me. I'm talking about enormous trees that will be there when we are all dead and gone. I've hugged trees in every part of this little island.

Gerry Adams

Ideology in the Soviet Union is both dead, and very much alive! Dead at the level of faith; alive as an indispensable rationale of policy

Milovan Djilas (1911-1995)

A chemical treatment to protect healthy pines may become available this year or next, but its expense likely will limit its use to very valuable trees. The only approach we have for dealing with pine wilt is to reduce its spread by quickly removing and destroying the trees that die from it.

Mark Harrell

It's been rough here down on the ranch, about the driest I've seen it since I moved down here seven years ago. It's rough on the trees. All the pine trees we've been planting are just turning brown.

Mike Garcia

When God loves a creature he wants the creature to know the highest happiness and the deepest misery He wants him to know all that being alive can bring. That is his best gift. There is no happiness save in understanding the whole.

Thornton Wilder (1897-1975)

Glæde

Any fool can destroy trees. They cannot defend themselves or run away. And
few destroyers of trees ever plant any; nor can planting avail much toward
restoring our grand aboriginal giants. It took more than three thousand
years to make some of the oldest of the Sequoias, trees that are still
standing in perfect strength and beauty, waving and singing in the mighty
forests of the Sierra.

John Muir (1838-1914)
