An ode to the earth


As you may or may not know, today is Earth Day and so I thought that I'd share a compilation of some of my favourite quotes about this beautiful planet where we live.


“A nation that destroys its soils destroys itself. Forests are the lungs of our land, purifying the air and giving fresh strength to our people.” - Franklin D. Roosevelt

“We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors; we borrow it from our children.” - Native American Proverb

“You cannot get through a single day without having an impact on the world around you. What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make.” - Jane Goodall


“The poetry of the earth is never dead.” - John Keats


"Nature is painting for us, day after day, pictures of infinite beauty." - John Ruskin

"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtfully committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it's the only thing that ever has." - Margaret Mead


"The earth is what we all have in common." - Wendell Berry
