Famous Quotes & Sayings

Roddy Doyle

To claim that music is more important than oxygen would be trite and sentimental. It would also be true.

Robert Mayer

The blood corpuscles take up the atmospheric oxygen in the lungs, and the vital chemical process accordingly depends essentially on the combination of oxygen absorbed by blood corpuscles with the combustible constituents of the blood to form carbonic acid and water.

Ziggy Marley

The sun is always shining. We have oxygen, trees, birds. There's so much good things on Earth, still. We haven't destroyed everything.

Jacque Fresco

You don't see the plug connected to the environment, so it looks like we're free, wandering around. Take the oxygen away, we all die immediately. Take plant life away, we die. And without the sun, all the plants die. So we are connected.

Henry Rollins

I have never experienced anything like walking out onto the stage of an oversold venue and, before the first note is struck, realizing that there is not going to be enough oxygen for all of us.

Laura Hillenbrand

Dignity is as essential to human life as water, food, and oxygen.

George MacDonald

There is no water in oxygen, no water in hydrogen: it comes bubbling fresh from the imagination of the living God, rushing from under the great white throne of the glacier. The very thought of it makes one gasp with an elemental joy no metaphysician can analyse.

Elizabeth Gilbert

When it comes to women, get your life together first. Put on your own oxygen mask first. Figure out who you are. Mature. And then go find somebody to share that life with.

Joel Salatin

The wealth of any ecosystem is its perennials. The primal herbivore-predator-disturbance-rest dance is literally the breath and pulse of the earth. Grasses recycle oxygen far more efficiently than trees. The turnover is faster. Grass reaches out and turns solar energy into carbon. Tillage hyper-aerates the soil, burning out carbon. But because a plant creates bilateral symmetry at the soil horizon, it sloughs off root mass when the top gets chopped off.

Dave Mitchell

I would think the pheasant season will be half as good as it was last year, because there are going to be half as many birds out there. You're not just going to be able to walk out on the Game Lands and expect to shoot a bird.

Mary Kindred

There are so many people that go through their entire lives trying to experience happiness. And we have gotten true joy out of being able to do something so simple as to keep a little bird warm to get it to a bird rehabilitator.

Stephen Ames

Having the opportunity to birdie the last three holes like I did today was good. And maybe a couple of fortunate times, like 18, a little scare on the 3-wood (drive), it ended up being way up the fairway and only a 6-iron in. It was fortunate and the nature of the game.

Langston Hughes

Hold fast to dreams for if dreams die, life is a broken winged bird that cannot fly.

Dr. Calonge

It is a bird flu. It is aptly named. This is a rare human disease.

Irwin Redlener

Within the next six months, we'll have infected birds in the U.S..

Thawat Suntrajarn

We can confirm that he died from the H5N1 strain of bird flu.

Lorena Ochoa

I thought to myself, this is a good start to the tournament. I didn't think it was going to be this good. I just tried to really focus and concentrate. I made birdie on the first hole and a birdie on the second hole. I was very happy about that. Then everything was easy and everything was so clear. It was a really good round.

Greg Owen

I think to come back and horseshoe out for a birdie summed up my week really. I don't know whether it was the heat or the long week, but I had just no good feelings at all. I couldn't get anything going, but hopefully I can learn from it.

William McDonough

The eco-effective future of industry is a world of abundance that celebrates the use and consumption of products and materials that are, in effect, nutritious - as safe, effective, and delightful as a cherry tree.

Samuel Rutherford

Grace will ever speak for itself and be fruitful in well-doing; the sanctified, cross is a fruitful tree.

Willa Cather

Today I stood taller from walking among the trees.

Wangari Maathai

The planet needs trees. If there is indeed that carbon dioxide out there in the atmosphere, the only species on the planet that can actually trap it for us in a natural process of photosynthesis are the trees.

W. S. Merwin

On the last day of the world I would want to plant a tree

Zac Hanson

Lots and lots of trees together, equals big trees!

Tyra Banks

Once you plant seeds of success, your tree will bear fierce fruit.

Washington Irving

The moan of the whip-poor-will from the hillside; the boding cry of the tree-toad, that harbinger of storm; the dreary hooting of the screechowl.

William Boyd

Is that a good definition of marking the ageing watershed? That moment when you realize - quite rationally, quite unemotionally - that the world in the not-so-distant future will not contain you: that the trees you planted will continue growing but you will not be there to see them.
