Since 1972, I've been going around making speeches on the Everglades.

The miracle of light pours over the green and brown expanse of saw grass and of water, shining and slowly moving, the grass and water that is the meaning and the central fact of the Everglades. It is a river of grass.

There are no other Everglades in the world. They are, they have always been, one of the unique regions of the earth; remote, never wholly known. Nothing anywhere else is like them.

They are unique in the simplicity, the diversity, the related harmony of the forms of life that they enclose.

No one is satisfied with their life's work.

Since 1972, I've been going around making speeches on the Everglades.

It's a little bit late in the day for men to object that women are getting outside their proper sphere.

No matter how poor my eyes are I can still talk.

The wealth of south Florida, but even more important, the meaning and significance of south Florida lies in the black muck of the Everglades and the inevitable development of this country to be the great tropic agricultural center of the world.

I take advantage of every thing I can - age, hair, disability - because my cause is just.

I'll talk about the Everglades at the drop of a hat.

I'm just a tough old woman.

To be a friend of the Everglades is not necessarily to spend time wandering around out there.

I feel greatly at fault in not having made a loud public protest about Belle Glade before this.

You have to stand up for some things in this world.

I wanted to go to a good college, and my mind was set on Wellesley.

There is always the need to carry on.

Conservation is now a dead word.

Child welfare ought really to cover all sorts of topics, such as better water and sanitation and good roads, and clean streets and public parks and playgrounds.

The problem of the environment is the extension of good housekeeping of the thinking woman.

All we need, really, is a change from a near frigid to a tropical attitude of mind.

Sometimes, I tell them more than they wanted to know.

You can't conserve what you haven't got.

Whoever wants me to talk, I'll come over and tell them about the necessity of preserving the Everglades.

Skating, I think I was told once, is the second most expensive sport. My family's had to refinance three times - they really want to do anything that it takes for my dreams to come true. I hope to one day have a family that I can do that for and kind of give back in the same way that my family gave to me.

We have the tendency to condemn what we don't understand.

I never quite envisioned myself a proper doctor under that white coat, but I was interested in the idea of healing and in the psychological dimension rather early on.

It's odd to meet a rather elderly man who says, 'I've been reading you all my life.' It makes you feel a slight chill.

Every day is not a success. Every year is not a success. You have to celebrate the good.

When your co-stars are 9-month-old babies, you fall in love. You start thinking, When am I going to have my own?

Being president isn't anything like reality TV. It's not about sending insulting tweets or making fiery speeches; it's about whether or not the candidate can handle the awesome responsibility of leading this country.

I've had days when I go in my bedroom for 24 hours at a time. I call them my Cilla Black days, and they're literally black days. It's like the old Boomtown Rats song 'I Don't Like Mondays.' You just want to shut the whole day down.

If I read something great and I want to go after it, I go after it. You don't wait to see what Hollywood wants to do with you. You decide what you want to do. I don't mind fighting when I really want something.

What we know is Megyn Kelly is totally obsessed with Mr. Trump.

Better the devil you know than the devil you don't.

Life usually tells the best stories - but sometimes it takes an artist to show us what they mean.

Colin Powell has said over the years that Saddam Hussein is like a toothache. It recurs from time to time, and you just have to live with it. At other times, he's compared Saddam Hussein to a kidney stone that will eventually pass. But he has never said, 'You have to operate and take out the kidney stone.'

An almost indispensable skill for any creative person is the ability to pose the right questions. Creative people identify promising, exciting, and, most important, accessible routes to progress - and eventually formulate the questions correctly.

President Bush's mercury rule is a gift to the big energy companies that helped put him in office.

There are jobs, particularly database-oriented ones, for which computers are necessary, but for everyday office life, I question whether they have brought the productivity that their enormous cost, up to £10,000 per person, demands.

Rooted in the word 'history' is 'story.' And America's story is exceptional. It's amazing. Younger students should learn that we have always been and continue to be a land of immigrants - a land committed to bold new ideas.

The aesthetic came along the way, I think - just through experimenting, and going on tour, and trying stuff out on stage, having fun with it, and not taking it too seriously. If I had a ballgown at home, I'd wear it onstage. If I found something in a charity shop, I'd wear it. That's where it grew from - just wanting to play dress-up.

No one who set out to design a form of communication would ever end up with anything like English, Mandarin, or any of the more than six thousand languages spoken today.

People notice it and they help you participate and see your work included in this project and when we ship our browser, you and millions of other people get to see the fruits of your efforts.

You can make your own way. It's about getting out there and not letting rejection get you down.

Love is not what we become, but what we already are.

The best thing of all is God is with us.

Never give up because you never know what the tide will bring in the next day.
