Everyone should be commended for allowing people to make disasters to make failures - you've just got to be sure that it's a magnificent failure and that by creating a magnificent failure you plant the seed.

Think twice before you speak because your words and influence will plant the seed of either success or failure in the mind of another.

Natural abilities are like natural plants that need pruning by study and studies themselves do give forth directions too much at large except they be bounded in by experience.

Experience has shown how deeply the seeds of war are planted by economic rivalry and social injustice.

All living beings not just animals but plants and microorganisms perceive. To survive an organic being must perceive - it must seek or at least recognize food and avoid environmental danger.

Americans don't pay much attention to environmental issues because they aren't sexy. I mean cleaning up coal plants and reining in outlaw frackers is hugely important work but it doesn't get anybody's pulse racing.

I don't think we're going to save anything if we go around talking about saving plants and animals only we've got to translate that into what's in it for us.

I see humanity now as one vast plant needing for its highest fulfillment only love the natural blessings of the great outdoors and intelligent crossing and selection.

You will die but the carbon will not its career does not end with you. It will return to the soil and there a plant may take it up again in time sending it once more on a cycle of plant and animal life.

For good nurture and education implant good constitutions.

Much education today is monumentally ineffective. All too often we are giving young people cut flowers when we should be teaching them to grow their own plants.

You can plant a dream.

A plant-based diet has actually simplified my life in so many ways. For breakfast I try to get my first serving of fruits and nuts for fuel. I'm completely addicted to coconut water for the electrolytes and hydration.

Though I'm vegan and advocate that others eat a plant-based diet I know that many people aren't quite ready to take that step in whole.

The best anti-aging advice I've ever received? Drink a lot of water and have a plant-based diet. I also do mindful meditation with my daughter every day. It takes ten minutes. I think reducing stress plays a big part in anti-aging.

The USDA is not our ally here. We have to take matters into our own hands not only by advocating for a better diet for everyone - and that's the hard part - but by improving our own. And that happens to be quite easy. Less meat less junk more plants.

I think gardens are fantastic and I'd love to draw and design and stuff like that. I love just planting flowers during the summer. There's something very humble about it and natural and beautiful.
