"We
must do what we conceive to be right and not bother our heads or burden our souls
with whether we'll be successful. Because if we don't do the right thing, we'll
do the wrong thing and we'll be part of the disease and not part of the cure."
"Any
intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes
a touch of genius - and a lot of courage - to move in the opposite direction."
"We
still have to learn how to live peacefully, not only with our fellow men but also
with nature and, above all, with those Higher Powers which have made nature and
have made us; for, assuredly, we have not come about by accident and certainly
have not made ourselves"
By

of our landscapes enhanced. This is the way, or at least one of the ways, to spiritual,
moral, and cultural regeneration.
"Man
talks of a battle with Nature, forgetting that if he won the battle, he would
find himself on the losing side."
The
system of nature, of which man is a part, tends to be self-balancing, self-adjusting,
self-cleansing. Not so with technology.
Infinite
growth of material consumption in a finite world is an impossibility.
