“In the Grand Canyon, Arizona has a natural wonder which is in kind absolutely unparalleled throughout the rest of the world. I want to ask you to keep this great wonder of nature as it now is. I hope you will not have a building of any kind, not a summer cottage, a hotel or anything else, to mar the wonderful grandeur, the sublimity, the great loneliness and beauty of the canyon. Leave it as it is. You cannot improve on it. The ages have been at work on it, and man can only mar it.” MenWorldWantKindHas BeensAgeAsksNaturalWonderWonderfulLonelinessBuildingSummerHotelMarsGrandeurArizonaCottagesCanyonsGrand CanyonSublimityWonder Of NatureNatural Wonders Author:Theodore Roosevelt

“Obsessive use of meditative disciplines or perennial study of scripture and philosophy will never bring forth this wonderful realization, this truth which is natural to awareness, because the mind that desperately desires to reach another realm or level of experience inadvertently ignores the basic light that constitutes all experience.” MindPhilosophyUseLightDesireNaturalLevelsStudyWonderfulAwarenessDisciplineScriptureRealizationRealmsObsessive Author:Tilopa
“There's a natural tendency for children to, in some sense, inherit the cultural values of their parents. I'm not against that, that's fine, that's wonderful. What I am against is labelling. Nobody ever labels a child a cricketer because his father is a cricketer, but they do label a child a Catholic because his parents are Catholic. I think it's more or less unique. Nobody ever labels a child a socialist or a conservative or a liberal because that's what their parents are.” ThinkingChildrenValuesFatherParentNaturalWonderfulFineUniqueCatholicConservativeTendenciesLabelsSocialistCricketers Author:Richard Dawkins

Once they see there are wonderful things to hunt for, to rediscover a species that was thought to be extinct or is extremely rare, to be the first to see a nest, to discover a new species unsuspected close to your home - these are things, I think, with a little education and excitement and the right kind of natural history would actually start a movement that makes going back to nature a profitable adventure.” PeopleThinkingWayFirstsKindLittlesHomeYoungNaturalWonderfulMovementAdventureSpeciesExcitementWonderful ThingsHuntsProfitableNestsNatural History Author:E.
