Mining is like a search-and-destroy mission.

Mining is like a search-and-destroy mission.

Plans to protect air and water, wilderness and wildlife are in fact plans to protect man.

Over the long haul of life on this planet, it is the ecologists, and not the bookkeepers of business, who are the ultimate accountants.

We have, I fear, confused power with greatness.

The most common trait of all primitive peoples is a reverence for the life-giving earth, and the Native American shared this elemental ethic: The land was alive to his loving touch, and he, its son, was brother to all creatures.

A limit on the automobile population of the United States would be the best of news for our cities. The end of automania would save open spaces, encourage wiser land use, and contribute greatly to ending suburban sprawl.

Cherish sunsets, wild creatures and wild places. Have a love affair with the wonder and beauty of the earth.

I don't remember a big fight between the Republicans and Democrats in the Nixon administration or President Gerald Ford and so on.

I like the story about Henry David Thoreau, who, when he was on his death bed, his family sent for a minister. The minister said, 'Henry, have you made your peace with God?' Thoreau said, 'I didn't know we'd quarreled.'

I think the Colorado Plateau is the most scenic area in the world - let's begin with that. Not just the United States.

I'm trying to encourage my children's generation and the other ones coming to return to basic American principles.

If, in our haste to 'progress,' the economics of ecology are disregarded by citizens and policy makers alike, the result will be an ugly America. We cannot afford an America where expedience tramples upon esthetics and development decisions are made with an eye only on the present.

In a region with a growing population, if you're doing nothing, you're losing ground.

It gives me satisfaction to help people.

Nixon was a good president on the environment. Gerald Ford was good.

Nuclear energy people perceive the greenhouse effect as a fresh wind blowing at their back.

One of the best things that came out of the Carter administration was the energy policy. The best things in it were renewable energy.

So many people of my generation who served in the government were prisoners of the Cold War culture, still are.

The atomic weapons race and the secrecy surrounding it crushed American democracy. It induced us to conduct government according to lies. It distorted justice. It undermined American morality.

The auto industry must acknowledge that a rational transportation policy should seek a balance between individual convenience, the efficient use of limited resources, and urban-living values that protect spaciousness, natural beauty, and human-scale mobility.

The choice facing the American people is not between growth and stagnation, but between short-term growth and long-term disaster.

The environmental effects of the automobile are well known: motor vehicles cause, for example, as much as 75 percent of the noise and 80 percent of the air pollution in our cities, and the industry must face mounting pressure from environmentalists.

There's not a single person in Arizona today who would say the Grand Canyon was a mistake.

Utah today remains a battleground for land-use policies.

Washington's a cesspool of money.

Wilderness, like the national park system, was an American idea.

Cherish sunsets wild creatures and wild places. Have a love affair with the wonder and beauty of the earth.

Where nature is concerned familiarity breeds love and knowledge not contempt.

Plans to protect air and water wilderness and wildlife are in fact plans to protect man.

It is obvious that the best qualities in man must atrophy in a standing-room-only environment.

The most common trait of all primitive peoples is a reverence for the life-giving earth.

The successful establishment of a buffer zone around Fort Carson will provide an example for other bases around the country as we seek to protect the training mission of the U.S. military while preserving critical habitats on our ranges.

The dedication of the United States Air Force, Special Forces, and others involved in the mission to tracking down terrorists can not be matched. We express our gratitude to these men and women who defend the freedom America represents.

The decision to go to war is the most important decision that I can make as a representative in Congress. As a veteran, I see any potential military action first through the eyes of the young men and women who volunteered to wear the uniform and would carry out such a mission.

I think a benefit is that we try to put it up in a short time. From the decision to do this mission until we fly, it's six months and one week or so, so it's a very short time.

A very considerable body of the German people live in America and propose to fight that Government. Bourke in his great speech last week welcoming the Belgian mission to Boston worked out the President's meaning with care.

If you ask me to summarise our mission, I would put it this way: We were a military regime that sought to lay the foundations for freedom and liberty in a complex society.

I am proud to represent these men and women who empower people in developing nations and promote the Peace Corps mission of peace and friendship. These volunteers are making major strides to improve the lives of people and communities around the world.

There is a difference between a military mission and the aspiration for the long-term plans for the country. What we want is a stable enough Afghanistan, able to look after its own security so we can leave without the fear of it imploding... But let's be clear - it's not going to be perfect.

Residuals from Australia, from the Mission Magic show, saved my butt. So there is a reason for everything.

I grew up on food stamps. I come from a very humble background. And I've had many friends that have been destitute - you know, running into trouble - and places like The Midnight Mission have given them hope and have fed them and gotten them back on the right path.

I believed that English-speaking people had a divine mission to civilize the world by making it western, democratic and Christian.

But when one believes that you've been appointed by God for a particular mission in history, you have to be very careful about that, how you speak about that. Where is the self-reflection in that? Where is the humility in that?

We have a responsibility to make sure that the limited resources we have are spent efficiently and effectively and that programs achieve their mission.

I feel very privileged to be part of this mission, and when my nomination was announced, I was really very, very happy to be selected for this mission.

For the first time in history, a private company is organizing a mission to the moon. This mission will inspire countries of the world, citizens, our youth.

We are in a time when the Peace Corps mission is more vital than ever, and the organization is at a 30-year high in the number of volunteers in the field. The Peace Corps is currently in 69 posts and serving 75 countries across the globe.

My mission is a cosmic mission. My concern is for all of humanity, and not only this present world, but the world hereafter. My mission penetrates the past, present, and future, and encompasses all humanity.
