Re: [famous_quotes] Digest Number 1301
For Raj (RJ) - quotes on safety, health, environment (I went the "nature"
route w/quotes-hope it's up the alley you're looking):
"They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety
deserve neither liberty nor safety." -- Benjamin Franklin
"Social values in general are incrementally variable: neither safety,
diversity, rational articulation, nor morality is categorically a "good
thing" to have more of, without limits. All are subject to diminishing
returns, and ultimately negative returns." -- Thomas Sowell
"If you are looking for perfect safety, you will do well to sit on a fence
and watch the birds; but if you really wish to learn, you must mount a
machine and become acquainted with its tricks by actual trial." --Wilbur
Wright, from an address to the Western Society of Engineers in Chicago, 18
September 1901.
"The tree which moves some to tears of joy is in the eyes of others only a
green thing that stands in the way. Some see nature all ridicule and
deformity.and some scarce see nature at all. But to the eyes of the man of
imagination, nature is imagination itself." --William Blake (1757-1827),
English poet, painter, engraver. Letter, 23 Aug. 1799 (published in The
Letters of William Blake, 1956).
"As long as I retain my feeling and my passion for Nature, I can partly
soften or subdue my other passions and resist or endure those of
thers." --Lord Byron (1788-1824), English poet. Letter, 10 June 1822, to
author Isaac D'Israeli (published in Byron's Letters and Journals, vol. 9,
ed. by Leslie A. Marchand, 1979).
"After you have exhausted what there is in business, politics, conviviality,
and so on--have found that none of these finally satisfy, or permanently
wear--what remains? Nature remains."
--Walt Whitman (1819-92), U.S. poet. Specimen Days and Collect, "New Themes
Entered Upon" (1882).
"The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy is to go
outside, somewhere where they can be quiet, alone with the heavens, nature
and God. Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be and
that God wishes to see people happy, amidst the simple beauty of nature. As
long as this exists, and it certainly always will, I know that then there
will always be comfort for every sorrow, whatever the circumstances may be.
And I firmly believe that nature brings solace in all troubles." --Anne
Frank (1929-45), German Jewish refugee, diarist.
"Early to rise and early to bed makes a man healthy and wealthy and
ead." --James Thurber
"Whenever I feel like exercise, I lie down until the feeling
asses." --Robert M. Hutchins
"Be careful when reading health books; you may die of a misprint." -- Mark
Twain
"The English have three vegetables and two of them are cabbage." -- Walter
Page
"Cauliflower is nothing but cabbage with a college education." -- Mark
Twain, 1835-1910
"Everything I like is either illegal, immoral or fattening." -- Alexander
Woollcott
"Let me put it this way. According to my girth, I should be a 90 ft
Redwood." -- Erma Bombeck
