“Water and petrol both come from the earth, and though they seem to be alike and even the same, they are in nature and purpose exact opposites, for the one extinguishes fire and the other adds fuel to it. So also the world and its treasures, the heart and its thirst for God are alike His creation. Now the result of the attempt to satisfy the heart with the wealth and pride and honours of this world is the same as if one tried to put out a fire with petrol, for the heart can only find ease and satisfaction in Him who created both it and the longing desire of which it is conscious.” IfsWorldHeartSeemsEarthDesirePurposeWaterWealthResultsFireCreationThis WorldPrideConsciousOppositesLongingAddSatisfactionTreasureEaseFuelHonourConsumerismThirstOverconsumptionPetrolThirst For God Author:Sadhu Sundar Singh

“We have a right to expect that the best trained, the best educated men on the Pacific slope, the Rocky Mountains, and great plains States will take the lead in the preservation and right use of forests, in securing the right use of waters, and in seeing that our land policy is not twisted from its original purpose, but is perpetuated by amendment, by change when such change is necessary in the life of that purpose, the purpose being to turn the public domain into farms each to be the property of the man who actually tills it and makes his home in it.” MenStatesUseHomePurposeTurnsWaterSeeingLandPolicyHe ManMountainOriginalsPropertyForestsEducatedFarmsAmendmentsPreservationDomainTwistedDinosaursPacificSlopesLead InEducated ManPublic DomainRocky MountainUses Of Water Author:Theodore Roosevelt
“Just as a pool of water cannot reflect the sky overhead when it is restless and disturbed, so we can never get a perfect vision of the Divine, and show it to others when we are disturbed with human thoughts and personal problems.

“Special care should be taken of the health of the inhabitants, which will depend chiefly on the healthiness of the locality and of the quarter to which they are exposed, and secondly on the use of pure water; this latter point is by no means a secondary consideration. For the elements which we use the most and oftenest for the support of the body contribute most to health, and among those are water and air. Wherefore, in all wise states, if there is want of pure water, and the supply is not all equally good, the drinking water ought to be separated from that which is used for other purposes.” IfsWantShouldMeanStatesUseBodyCareUsedPurposeWaterEducationSupportTakenWiseAirSpecialDependsOughtPureElementsDrinkingConsiderationLatterExposedQuartersDrinking WaterLocalityPure Water Author:Aristotle
