We think, sometimes, there’s not a dragon left. Not one brave knight, not a single princess gliding through secret forests ... What a pleasure to be wrong. Princesses, knights, enchantments and dragons, mystery and adventure ... not only are they here-and-now, they’re all that ever lived on earth!

Richard Bach

Quotes  Books by Richard Bach     

The other night I dreamt I went to the gates of heaven. And St. Peter said 'Go back to earth. There are no slums up here.'

Mother Teresa

Mother Teresa Quotes  Mother Teresa Books     

How could our hearts be large enough for heaven if they are not large enough for earth? The only country I am certain of is the one here below. The only paradise I know is the one lit by our everyday sun, the land of difficult love, shot through with shadow. The place where we learn this love, if we learn it at all, shimmers behind every new place we inhabit.

Scott Russell Sanders

There are no passengers on spaceship earth. We are all crew.

Marshall McLuhan

Canadian Educator and Philosopher

We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors,
we borrow it from our children.

Haida Indian Saying

I pledge allegiance to the earth and to the flora, fauna and human life that it supports, one planet indivisible, with safe air, water and soil, economic justice, equal rights and peace for all.

A Slightly Revised 'Pledge of Allegiance'

How generous you are, Earth,
and how strong is your yearning for your children
lost between that which they have attained
and that which they could not obtain.
We clamor and you smile; we flit but you stay!
We extract your elements to make cannons and bombs,
but out of our elements you create lilies and roses.

Kahlil Gibran

Lebanese Poet and Novelist

Quotes  Books by Kahlil Gibran     

The four hardest tasks on earth are neither physical nor intellectual feats, but spiritual ones: To return love for hate; to include the excluded; to forgive without apology, and to be able to say 'I was wrong.'

Author Unknown

And joy is everywhere;
It is in the Earth's green covering of grass;
In the blue serenity of the Sky;
In the reckless exuberance of Spring;
In the severe abstinence of grey Winter;
In the Living flesh that animates our bodily frame;
In the perfect poise of the Human figure, noble and upright;
In Living;
In the exercise of all our powers;
In the acquisition of Knowledge;
In fighting evils...
Joy is there
Everywhere.

Rabindranath Tagore

Indian Poet

Be humble for you are made of earth.
Be noble for you are made of stars.
