My dream is of a place and a time where America will once again be seen as the last best hope of earth.
True prayer is neither a mere mental exercise nor a vocal performance. It is far deeper than that - it is spiritual transaction with the Creator of Heaven and Earth.
Government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the Earth.
Sooner or later, we will have to recognise that the Earth has rights, too, to live without pollution. What mankind must know is that human beings cannot live without Mother Earth, but the planet can live without humans.
Thank God men cannot fly, and lay waste the sky as well as the earth.
The Earth does not belong to us: we belong to the Earth.
All things on earth point home in old October; sailors to sea, travellers to walls and fences, hunters to field and hollow and the long voice of the hounds, the lover to the love he has forsaken.

Australia has embraced migrants from all different races, making us one of the most multiracial nations on earth.

There will be days when you feel defeated, exhausted, and plain old beat-up by life's whiplash. People you love will disappoint you — and you will disappoint them.

My main characters are the most sunny, happy, optimistic, loving creatures on the face of the Earth. I couldn't be happier that's where I start. I can put as many flawed people in the dog's world as I like, but the dog doesn't care. Dog doesn't judge. Dog doesn't dislike. Dog loves. That's not so bad.
The easiest thing to find on God's green earth is someone to tell you all the things you cannot do.

The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena.
It pays to be in the best shape possible when you're wrangling the largest reptiles on Earth!
Rain is grace; rain is the sky descending to the earth; without rain, there would be no life.
Trees are Earth's endless effort to speak to the listening heaven.
Let a new earth rise. Let another world be born. Let a bloody peace be written in the sky. Let a second generation full of courage issue forth; let a people loving freedom come to growth.
