“The effect of the corporation, under the prevailing policy of the free, go-as-you-please method of organization and management, has been to drive the bulk of our people, other than farmers, out of property ownership; and, if allowed to go on as present, it will keep them out... The paramount problem is not how to stop the growth of property, and the building up of wealth, but how to manage it so that every species of property, like a healthy growing tree will spread its roots deeply and widely in the soil of a popular proprietorship.” PeopleIfsHas BeensProblemPoliticsGrowthWealthEconomyGrowingTreeEffectsPolicyBuildingGoes OnPleaseHealthyRootsOrganizationManagementMethodPropertySpeciesSpreadManageCorporationsSoilLiberalismFarmersOwnershipPrevailingParamountBuilding UpProperty OwnershipGrowing Tree Author:Peter S.

“Hereditary monarchy offers numerous advantages for America. It is the only form of government able to unify a heterogeneous people. Thanks to centuries of dynastic marriage, the family tree of every royal house is an ethnic grab bag with something for everybody. We need this badly; America is the only country in the world where you can suffer culture shock without leaving home. We can't go on much longer depending upon disasters like Pearl Harbor and the Iranian hostage-taking to "bring us together.” PeopleWorldNeedsCountryHomeGovernmentAbleTogetherAmericaFormSufferingCultureHouseTreeCenturyGoes OnOffersAdvantageLeavingDisasterThanksShockBagsPearlsRoyalHarborsMonarchyForms Of GovernmentIranianHostageHereditaryLeaving HomeCulture Shock Book:Reflections In A Jaundiced Eye Source: Reflections In A Jaundiced Eye
“You know that the air and water are being polluted, as is everything we touch and live with, and we go on corrupting the nature that we need. We don't realize we have a commitment to God to take care of nature. To cut down a tree, to waste water when there is so much lack of it, to let buses poison our atmosphere with those noxious fumes from their exhausts, to burn rubbish haphazardly-all that concerns our alliance with God.” KnowsNeedsCareWaterRealizingCuttingAirTreeGoes OnWasteCommitmentConcernEnvironmentalTake CareAtmospherePoisonBusPollutionAlliancesCommitment To GodRubbishAir And Water Author:Oscar Romero

“If you live on an atoll and you get a warning by radio that a big wave is coming and everyone is told to move to higher ground, where are you supposed to go on these islands? There is none. The highest ground is four-meters (around 13 feet) above sea level, meaning you'd be safer in a coconut tree. How, though, are you supposed to get your grandfather, grandmother and grandchildren up there?” IfsBigsMovingLevelsFourTreeSeaFeetGoes OnHigherHighestWaveRadioIslandsGrandmotherWarningGrandfatherGrandchildrenMeterCoconutsGrandmother And GrandchildrenHigher Ground Author:Enele Sopoaga
“Consider a tree for a moment. As beautiful as trees are to look at, we don't see what goes on underground - as they grow roots. Trees must develop deep roots in order to grow strong and produce their beauty. But we don't see the roots. We just see and enjoy the beauty. In much the same way, what goes on inside of us is like the roots of a tree.” WayLooksMomentsBeautifulOrderStrongGrowsEnjoyTreeProduceGoes OnRootsPlant A TreeDeep RootsBeautiful TreesStrong Roots Author:Joyce Meyer
“To lose a brother is to lose someone with whom you can share the experience of growing old, who is supposed to bring you a sister-in-law and nieces and nephews, creatures who people the tree of your life and give it new branches. To lose your father is to lose the one whose guidance and help you seek, who supports you like a tree trunk supports its branches. To lose your mother, well, that is like losing the sun above you. It is like losing--I'm sorry, I would rather not go on.” PeopleGivingWellsPhilosophyHelpingLawMotherFatherLosesSupportSunGrowingTreeShareBrotherGoes OnCreaturesLosingSorryGuidanceBranchesI'm SorryGrowing OldIn-lawsTrunksSupport YouNephewNieceSister In LawTree TrunksLife Of Pi BookNiece And Nephew Book:Life of Pi Source: Life of Pi
