“I do not think I exaggerate the importance or the charms of pedestrianism, or our need as a people to cultivate the art. I think it would tend to soften the national manners, to teach us the meaning of leisure, to acquaint us with the charms of the open air, to strengthen and foster the tie between the race and the land. No one else looks out upon the world so kindly and charitably as the pedestrian; no one else gives and takes so much from the country he passes through.”

We are all equals and every human being has something of value in their composition which makes them unique, just as every country has their own unique resources to share with the world.

Never discount a country by what they can't provide your country, while their resources may benefit other lands in need.”

“Have you seen Cowspiracy? It takes a lot more land to feed a meat eater than to feed a vegan or a vegetarian.

You had some very severe economic reprisals against people in Mississippi and in South Carolina. So, in order to try to help to meet some of the physical needs and the economic needs of people in Clarendon County [SC] who had been displaced from the land, and otherwise, and in certain sections of Mississippi, we organized in New York City something called "In Friendship".”
