In Europe the various ranks of society are, like the strata of the earth, fixed and fossilized. There can be no great change without a terrible upheaval, a social earthquake.
If you want to become a fossil, you need to die somewhere where your bones will be rapidly buried. You then hope that the Earth moves in such a way as to bring the bones back up to the surface.
To cherish what remains of the Earth and to foster its renewal is our only legitimate hope of survival.
Our life here on Earth has as its purpose precisely to prepare for our eternal happiness. This world is a large womb. It is a 'test' as all opportunities are tests.
My object will be, first, to show by what connections the history of the fossil bones of land animals is linked to the theory of the earth and why they have a particular importance in this respect.
I look at every girl, and I think, 'You're going to change my life.' I'm very down to earth at heart.
The earth was made so various, that the mind Of desultory man, studious of change, And pleased with novelty, might be indulged.
The closest thing to hell on earth is prison. It's the worst experience I've ever had in my life. Besides death.
Mankind has probably done more damage to the Earth in the 20th century than in all of previous human history.

My parents said to us, practically on a daily basis, that we were as good as anyone else on this earth, and that we would simply have to work harder in order to show that.
The sun is always shining. We have oxygen, trees, birds. There's so much good things on Earth, still. We haven't destroyed everything.
There's nothing on this green earth that a liberal progressive fears more than a black American who wants a better life and a smaller government.
I think what 'The Hobbit' and Middle-earth deal in are quite universal and timeless themes of honour and love and friendship... so they're things that do resonate with people.
I do not believe that civilization will be wiped out in a war fought with the atomic bomb. Perhaps two-thirds of the people of the earth will be killed.
We would fight not for the political future of a distant city, rather for principles whose destruction would ruin the possibility of peace and security for the peoples of the earth.
I always prayed that God would give me the wisdom and the vision to do the things on this earth that I was supposed to do to express His life and love and His will.
God sent me on earth. He send me to do something, and nobody can stop me. If God want to stop me, then I stop. Man never can.
Man must feel the earth to know himself and recognize his values... God made life simple. It is man who complicates it.
