There's so many issues tied to the meat industry. I mean social environmental humanitarian - all of them. I know that when I'm eating that I'm not hurting the planet I'm not hurting other people on this planet I'm not hurting animals... and I'm not hurting nature.
These days most nature photographers are deeply committed to the environmental message.
Nature is not simply a technical or economical resource and human beings are not mere numbers. To suggest that one can somehow align all the squabbling institutions of science environmental management government and diplomacy in an alliance of convenience to regulate the global climate seems to me optimistic.
The real cure for our environmental problems is to understand that our job is to salvage Mother Nature. We are facing a formidable enemy in this field. It is the hunters... and to convince them to leave their guns on the wall is going to be very difficult.
If you violate Nature's laws you are your own prosecuting attorney judge jury and hangman.
I can find God in nature in animals in birds and the environment.
We must return to nature and nature's god.
Keep close to Nature's heart... and break clear away once in awhile and climb a mountain or spend a week in the woods. Wash your spirit clean.
And I thought that was the best way for me to participate because standing in the crowd and listening is a fantastic education but it's not my nature. I need to be involved. So I did that instead.
Official education was telling people almost nothing of the nature of all those things on the seashores and in the redwood forests in the deserts and in the plains.
It was the full conviction of this and of what could be done if every man were placed in the office for which he was fitted by nature and a proper education which first suggested to me the plan of Illumination.
Knowledge of human nature is the beginning and end of political education.
Nature has always had more force than education.
No man should bring children into the world who is unwilling to persevere to the end in their nature and education.
They should hold themselves absolutely upon the immovable foundation of truth and nature whereby alone they can save themselves from misapprehensions and from the danger of being entirely carried away from reality into mere dreams and fictions.
Real shapes and real patterns are things you would observe in nature like the marks on the back of a cobra's hood or the markings on a fish or a lizard. Imaginary shapes are just that symbols that come to a person in dreams or reveries and are charged with meaning.
Dreams come true without that possibility nature would not incite us to have them.
