“I remember as a ranger the first time I stood alone on Inspiration Point over at Canyon Station looking out over this beautiful land. I thought to myself how lucky I was that my parents' and grandparents' generation had the vision and the determination to save it for us. Now it is our turn to make our own gift outright to those who will come after us, 15 years, 40 years, 100 years from now. I want to be as faithful to my grandchildren's generation as Old Faithful has been to ours. What better way can we add a new dimension to our third century of freedom?” WayWantYearsFirstsHas BeensInspirationBeautifulRememberTurnsParentVisionGenerationsLandCenturyLuckyFirst TimeDeterminationThirdsAddFaithfulDimensionsStationsGrandparentGrandchildrenBetter WaysRangersCanyonsMy GrandchildrenParents And GrandparentsBeautiful Land Author:Gerald R.

“Humans tend to start the process of change by acknowledging themselves. Thus blacks asserted black pride and 'black is beautiful;' women declared 'I am woman, I am strong'; men are saying 'I am man, I am okay.' After a quarter of a century of male bashing, that's not a bad start.” MenBeautifulStrongProcessBlackCenturyPrideOkayMalesQuartersBeautiful WomenStrong ManI Am StrongI Am WomanProcess Of ChangeQuarter Of A CenturyBlack Is BeautifulBlack Pride Author:Warren Farrell
“At present, I am a poet trying to be a soldier. To tell the truth, I am not interested in writing nowadays, except in so far as writing is the expression of something beautiful ... The only sort of book I care to write about the war is the sort people will read after the war is over - a century after it is over.” PeopleWritingTryingBookWarCareBeautifulCenturyPoetExpressionSoldierTelling The TruthNot InterestedI CareSomething Beautiful Book:Joyce Kilmer: Memoir and poems Source: Joyce Kilmer: Memoir and poems
“For centuries poets, some poets, have tried to give a voice to the animals, and readers, some readers, have felt empathy and sorrow. If animals did have voices, and they could speak with the tongues of angels-at the very least with the tongues of angels-they would be unable to save themselves from us. What good would language do? Their mysterious otherness has not saved them, nor have their beautiful songs and coats and skins and shells and eyes.” IfsGivingWould BeEyeBeautifulSongSpeakLanguageFeltVoiceAnimalCenturyPoetReaderSorrowEmpathyAngelSkinsTongueSavedMysteriousShellsCoatsOtherness Book:Ill Nature: Rants and Reflections on Humanity and Other Animals Source: Ill Nature: Rants and Reflections on Humanity and Other Animals
“It is, then, the strife of all honorable men and women of the twentieth century to see that in the future competition of the races the survival of the fittest shall mean the triumph of the good, the beautiful, and the true; that we may be able to preserve for future civilization all that is really fine and noble and strong, and not continue to put a premium on greed and imprudence and cruelty.” MenMayMeanAbleBeautifulStrongRaceCenturyFineCivilizationSurvivalMen And WomenCompetitionGreedNobleCrueltyTriumphPreservesHonorableStrifeTwentieth CenturySurvival Of The FittestPremiumHonorable Man Author:W.
