The earth we abuse and the living things we kill will, in the end, take their revenge; for in exploiting their presence we are diminishing our future.
-Marya Mannes "Marya Mannes"
The earth we abuse and the living things we kill will, in the end, take their revenge; for in exploiting their presence we are diminishing our future.
Never forget that you are one of a kind. Never forget that if there weren’t any need for you in all your uniqueness to be on this earth, you wouldn’t be here in the first place.
Peace be to earth and to airy space! Peace be to heaven, peace to the waters, peace to the plants and peace to the trees! May all the gods grant me peace!
You were placed on this earth to create, not to compete.
Be aware of the contact between your feet and the earth. Walk as if you are kissing the earth with your feet.
Earth and sky, woods and fields, lakes and rivers, the mountain and the sea, are excellent school-masters, and teach some of us more than we can ever learn from books.
The earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof, the world and those who dwell therein.
Service to others is the rent you pay for your room here on earth.
Because we all share this planet earth, we have to learn to live in harmony and peace with each other and with nature. This is not just a dream, but a necessity.
This earth is a garden, The Lord its gardener, cherishing all, none neglected.
