The Earth is what we all have in common.

People are fed by the food industry, which pays no attention to health, and are treated by the health industry, which pays no attention to food.

The care of the Earth is our most ancient and most worthy, and after all our most pleasing responsibility. To cherish what remains of it and to foster its renewal is our only hope.

It may be that when we no longer know... which way to go we have begun our real journey. The mind that is not baffled is not employed. The impeded stream is the one that sings.

Outdoors we are confronted everywhere with wonders; we see that the miraculous is not extraordinary, but the common mode of existence. It is our daily bread.

Be like the fox who makes more tracks than necessary, some in the wrong direction. Practice resurrection.

I come into the peace of wild things who do not tax their lives with forethought of grief.... For a time I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.

We need better government, no doubt about it. But we also need better minds, better friendships, better marriages, better communities.

You cannot save the land apart from the people, or the people apart from the land.

Unexpected wonders happen, not on schedule, or when you expect or want them to happen, but if you keep hanging around, they do happen.

Money is not the result, but the BYPRODUCT, of your good leadership.

If you could say it in words there would be no reason to paint.

a woman may be called a wife and mother for most of her life, while a man is called a husband and father only at his funeral.

That's like comparing apples with hermaphroditic ground sloths.

Competence goes beyond words. It's the leader's ability to say it, plan it, and do it in such a way that others know that you know how - and know that they want to follow you.

Everybody should wish they had home movies of themselves, acting out their lunacy on LSD.

We need to put no confidence in the arm of flesh, but rather trust ourselves entirely to the arm of the Lord.

Long necks. The thrust of the head in a certain position. The way the fingers work, fabrics work. It's all part of my painting background.

I'd like to help out in any way I can, especially with the younger guys in the minor leagues. But as far as setting something up, we haven't really talked about it.

Educate and inform the whole mass of the people... They are the only sure reliance for the preservation of our liberty.
