Equality Quotes by RENE DESCARTES-1486873711
It is well to know something of the manners of various peoples, in order more sanely to judge our own, and that we do not think that everything against our modes is ridiculous, and against reason, as those who have seen nothing are accustomed to think.
Equality Quotes by MICHEL DE MONTAIGNE-1486837798
The souls of emperors and cobblers are cast in the same mold.... The same reason that makes us wrangle with a neighbour causes a war betwixt princes.

Equality Quotes by MALCOLMX-1486832857

Equality Quotes by JOSEPH FARRELL-1486830065

Equality Quotes by BERNARD M. BARUCH-1486823989
We didn't all come over on the same ship, but we're all in the same boat.
Equality Quotes by JOHN JAMES INGALLS-1486822543

Equality Quotes by BERTRAND RUSSELL-1486797769
In America everybody is of opinion that he has no social superiors, since all men are equal, but he does not admit that he has no social inferiors, for, from the time of Jefferson onward, the doctrine that all men are equal applies only upwards, not downwards.
Equality Quotes by LINDA ELLERBEE-1486796098
People are pretty much alike. It's only that our differences are more susceptible to definition than our similarities.
environment quotes by WILLIAM O. DOUGLAS-1486794589
I realized that Eastern thought had somewhat more compassion for all living things. Man was a form of life that in another reincarnation might possibly be a horsefly or a bird of paradise or a deer. So a man of such a faith, looking at animals, might be looking at old friends or ancestors. In the East the wilderness has no evil connotation; it is thought of as an expression of the unity and harmony of the universe.
environment quotes by RACHEL CARSON-1486793390
For the first time in the history of the world, every human being is now subjected to contact with dangerous chemicals, from the moment of conception until death.
environment quotes by DONALD G. KAUFMAN AND CECILIA M. FRANZ-1486791999
Christianity, with its roots in Judaism, was a major factor in the development of the Western worldview.... A basic Christian belief was that God gave humans dominion over creation, with the freedom to use the environment as they saw fit. Another important Judeo-Christian belief predicted that God would bring a cataclysmic end to the Earth sometime in the future. One interpretation of this belief is that the Earth is only a temporary way station on the soul's journey to the afterlife. Because these beliefs tended to devalue the natural world, they fostered attitudes and behaviors that had a negative effect on the environment.
environment quotes by WILLIAM RALPH INGE-1486790528
The command "Be fruitful and multiply" was promulgated, according to our authorities, when the population of the world consisted of two people.
environment quotes by U THANT-1486740674
As we watch the sun go down, evening after evening, through the smog across the poisoned waters of our native earth, we must ask ourselves seriously whether we really wish some future universal historian on another planet to say about us: "With all their genius and with all their skill, they ran out of foresight and air and food and water and ideas," or, "They went on playing politics until their world collapsed around them."
environment quotes by GREY LIVINGSTON-1486738726
When you use a manual push mower, you're "cutting" down on pollution and the only thing in danger of running out of gas is you!
environment quotes by EUGENE M. POIROT-1486737145
A margin of life is developed by Nature for all living things - including man. All life forms obey Nature's demands - except man, who has found ways of ignoring them.
environment quotes by ALBERT EINSTEIN-1486735905
A human being is part of the whole, called by us "Universe," a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest - a kind o
environment quotes by ANTON CHEKHOV-1486734253
Man has been endowed with reason, with the power to create, so that he can add to what he's been given. But up to now he hasn't been a creator, only a destroyer. Forests keep disappearing, rivers dry up, wild life's become extinct, the climate's ruined and the land grows poorer and uglier every day.
environment quotes by JEANARP-1486730496
Soon silence will have passed into legend. Man has turned his back on silence. Day after day he invents machines and devices that increase noise and distract humanity from the essence of life, contemplation, meditation... tooting, howling, screeching, booming, crashing, whistling, grinding, and trilling bolster his ego. His anxiety subsides. His inhuman void spreads monstrously like a gray vegetation.
environment quotes by CHINESE PROVERB-1486728793
The rose has thorns only for those who would gather it.
environment quotes by HENRY DAVID THOREAU-1486665262
It appears to be a law that you cannot have a deep sympathy with both man and nature.
environment quotes by EDWIN WAY TEALE-1486659058
Time and space - time to be alone, space to move about - these may well become the great scarcities of tomorrow.
environment quotes by RENE DUBOS-1486633378
Human destiny is bound to remain a gamble, because at some unpredictable time and in some unforeseeable manner nature will strike back.
environment quotes by ARNOLD TOYNBEETHE BODY-1486631899
We have been god-like in the planned breeding of our domesticated plants, but rabbit-like in the unplanned breeding of ourselves.
environment quotes by DON A. DILLMAN-1486616079
Ironically, rural America has become viewed by a growing number of Americans as having a higher [quality of life] not because of what it has, but rather because of what it does not have!
environment quotes by RICHARD WILKINSON-1486614719
In its broadest ecological context, economic development is the development of more intensive ways of exploiting the natural environment.
environment quotes by RENE DUBOS-1486613361
Nature always strikes back. It takes all the running we can do to remain in the same place.
environment quotes by HORACE-1486575717
Drive Nature forth by force, she'll turn and routThe false refinements that would keep her out.
environment quotes by IRVING BABBITT-1486563324
The American reading his Sunday paper in a state of lazy collapse is perhaps the most perfect symbol of the triumph of quantity over quality.... Whole forests are being ground into pulp daily to minister to our triviality.
environment quotes by STEPHEN JAY GOULD-1486545755
Human consciousness arose but a minute before midnight on the geological clock. Yet we mayflies try to bend an ancient world to our purposes, ignorant perhaps of the messages buried in its long history. Let us hope that we are still in the early morning of our April day.
environment quotes by GIL STERN-1486544343
Man is a complex being: he makes deserts bloom - and lakes die.
environment quotes by RACHEL CARSON-1486527198
It is a curious situation that the sea, from which life first arose, should now be threatened by the activities of one form of that life.
environment quotes by HENRY DAVID THOREAU-1486445709
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.
environment quotes by CARL SAGAN-1486444318
The universe is not required to be in perfect harmony with human ambition.
environment quotes by DAVE FOREMAN-1486442591
Our environmental problems originate in the hubris of imagining ourselves as the central nervous system or the brain of nature. We're not the brain, we are a cancer on nature.
environment quotes by ANONYMOUS WINTU WOMAN-1486441301
How can the spirit of the earth like the white man?... Everywhere the white man has touched it, it is sore.
environment quotes by WILLIAM RATHJE-1486435602
Dig a trench through a landfill and you will see layers of phone books like geographical strata or layers of cake.... During a recent landfill dig in Phoenix, I found newspapers dating from 1952 that looked so fresh you might read one over breakfast.
environment quotes by LUTHER BURBANK-1486401703
Nature's laws affirm instead of prohibit. If you violate her laws you are your own prosecuting attorney, judge, jury, and hangman.
environment quotes by LANE OLINGHOUSE-1486400012
Remember when atmospheric contaminants were romantically called stardust?
environment quotes by LOUDON WAINWRIGHT-1486398762
The magnificence of mountains, the serenity of nature - nothing is safe from the idiot marks of man's passing.
environment quotes by CHIEF LUTHER STANDING BEAR-1486397490
The old Lakota was wise. He knew that man's heart away from nature becomes hard; he knew that lack of respect for growing, living things soon led to lack of respect for humans too.
environment quotes by ERNEST JONES-1486396209
The control man has secured over nature has far outrun his control over himself.
