WORLD EARTH DAY

 


Quotes I have probably shared before but worth repeating:

"The Earth is what we all have in common."


"What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make."

"Nature never did betray the heart that loved her."

"Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can."
~Arthur Ashe~
This quote is often used as a motivational 
phrase to encourage taking action despite limitations.
I think it is perfect on this World Earth Day, when we wonder
what can we do? We can do what we can and all do our part, 
as small as we think it is.


The last two quotes are Native American Proverbs.

"Every animal knows more than we do."

and 

"We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children."

Happy Earth Day Everyone.

    1. I was always very fond of her because of the good works she did. A visionary as you say Cecilia, and a lady to be very much admired. She left an incredible legacy.
