“We do not own the Earth. We borrow it from the generations who will remember what we did here.”

“Silence can be complicity, or it can be the soil where action grows.”

“The silence of a forest teaches more than a thousand lectures.”

“The future will not be inherited. It must be protected, reshaped, and loved into being.”

“The Earth doesn’t need saving. It needs remembering. We forgot we were part of it, not apart from it.”

“To walk among trees is to walk among elders who speak without sound.”

“Time is not the great teacher. Experience is. A man may live a whole life, but if he never leaves his home to experience that life, he dies knowing nothing. A mere child who has suffered and lived can be the wiser of the two.”

“If intellect and wisdom are lost in the administration of a country, generation after generation will remain confused and subjugated.”

“Whenever we look around the world, we see smart leaders – in politics, in business, in media – making terrible decisions. What they're lacking is not IQ, but wisdom. Which is no surprise; it has never been harder to tap into our inner wisdom, because in order to do so, we have to disconnect from all our omnipresent devices – our gadgets, our screens, our social media – and reconnect with ourselves.”

“They say that patriotism is the last refuge to which a scoundrel clings steal a little and they throw you in jail. Steal a lot and then they make you king.”
