"We will respond to the threat of..." - Quote by Barack Obama

“I believe that the free enterprise system is the greatest engine of prosperity the world's ever known.”

“I'm determined to disagree with people without being disagreeable. That's part of the empathy. Empathy doesn't just extend to cute little kids. You have to have empathy when you're talking to some guy who doesn't like black people.”

“The future belongs to young people with an education and the imagination to create.”

“If we're going to prevent large parts of this Earth from becoming not only inhospitable but uninhabitable in our lifetimes, we're going to have to keep some fossil fuels in the ground rather than burn them and release more dangerous pollution into the sky.”

“No challenge poses a greater threat to future generations than climate change.”

“I'm about to embark on what may be as important as an initiative as anything I do as President, trying to nudge the world in the direction of doing something serious about climate change.”

“Here is this vast, savage, howling mother of ours,Nature, lying all around, with such beauty, and such affection for her children,as the leopard; and yet we are so early weanedfrom her breast to society, to that culture which is exclusivelyan interaction of man on man.”

“Until man duplicates a blade of grass, nature can laugh at his so-called scientific knowledge. Remedies from chemicals will never stand in favor compared with the products of nature, the living cell of the plant, the final result of the rays of the sun, the mother of all life.”

“Is it the lumberman, then, who is the friend and lover of the pine, stands nearest to it, and understands its nature best? Is it the tanner who has barked it, or he who has boxed it for turpentine, whom posterity will fable to have been changed into a pine at last? No! no! it is the poet: he it is who makes the truest use of the pine-who does not fondle it with an axe, nor tickle it with a saw, nor stroke it with a plane. . . .”
