NATURE AND PROTECTING MOTHER EARTH
“Nature is not a place to visit. It is home.”
“Green is the prime color of the world, and that from which its loveliness arises.”
“Never forget that Mother Earth created you in her womb, like a loving mother she delights to feel your bare feet and her winds long to play with your hair. She warms with your smile and catches your tears when you are down and need to hold you in her hand.” David Scott
“From the day we arrive on the planet and blinking step into the sun. There’s more to be seen than can ever be seen. More to do than can ever be done. Some say, eat or be eaten. Some say, live and let live. But, all are agreed as they join the stampede. You should never take more than you give. In the circle of life. It’s the wheel of fortune. It’s the leap of faith. It’s the band of hope. Till we find our place. On the path unwinding, In the circle, The Circle of Life” ― Elton John, The Lion King
“Treat the earth well: it was not given to you by your parents, it was loaned to you by your children. We do not inherit the Earth from our Ancestors, we borrow it from our Children.” Chief Crazy Horse

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.

I firmly believe that nature brings solace in all troubles.” — Anne Frank
