More on Environment
“The ocean is a wilderness reaching round the globe, wilder than a Bengal jungle, and fuller of monsters, washing the very wharves of our cities and the gardens of our sea-side residences.”
“Let us hope manufacturers can come up with a diaper that is environmentally sound. To go back to cloth would send us back to the day when breathing and raising a baby at the same time were incompatible.”
“There's enough on this planet for everyone's needs but not for everyone's greed.”
More on Waste
“Be thankful we're not getting all the government we're paying for.”
“Any large extension of the Government into business affairs - no matter what the pretense and no matter how the the extension is labeled - will be bound to promote waste and put a curb on our prosperity and progress.”
“Time is our most valuable asset, yet we tend to waste it, kill it and spend it rather than invest it.”
