Top ten quotes and sayings

  1. Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover. - Mark Twain
  2. “Treat the earth well: it was not given to you by your parents, it was loaned to you by your children. We do not inherit the Earth from our Ancestors, we borrow it from our Children.” - Native American Proverb.
  3. When we Indians kill meat, we eat it all up. When we dig roots, we make little holes. When we build houses, we make little holes. When we burn grass for grasshoppers, we don’t ruin things. We shake down acorns and pine nuts. We don’t chop down the trees. We only use dead wood. But the white people plow up the ground, pull down the trees, kill everything. … the White people pay no attention. …How can the spirit of the earth like the White man? … everywhere the White man has touched it, it is sore. - Wintu Tribe
  4. Don’t let yesterday use up too much of today. – Will Rogers
  5. We will have to repent in this generation not merely for the hateful words and actions of the bad people, but for the the appalling silence of the good people. - Martin Luther King
  6. Only to the white man was nature a “wilderness” and only to him was the land “infested” with “wild” animals and “savage” people. To us, it was tame. Earth was bountiful and we were surrounded with the blessings of the Great Mystery. – Luther Standing Bear
  7. “I am the wisest man in Athens because I know I don’t know. I am only singularly ignorant. The rest of the citizens are twice ignorant. They think they know, but they still don’t know.” - Socrates
  8. Humankind has not woven the web of life. We are but one thread within it. Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves. All things are bound together. All things connect. – Chief Seattle.
  9. When all the trees have been cut down, when all the animals have been hunted, when all the waters are polluted, when all the air is unsafe to breathe, only then will you discover you cannot eat money. – Cree Indian Prophecy
  10. “I’m not a snob. Ask Anyone. Well Anyone that matters.”
