The Small Earth



We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors, 
we borrow it from our children. 
~Native American Proverb


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. 
~Eugene M. Poriot


The wealth of the nation is its air, water, soil, forests, minerals, rivers, 
lakes, oceans, scenic beauty, wildlife habitats and biodiversity...
that's all there is. That's the whole economy.
That's where all the economic activity and jobs come from. 
These biological systems are the sustaining wealth of the world. 
~Gaylord Nelson


I would feel more optimistic about a bright future for man 
if he spent less time proving that he can outwit Nature 
and more time tasting he sweetness and respecting her seniority. 
~Elwyn Brooks White
