I had read tons of science fiction. I was fascinated by other worlds, other environments. For me, it was fantasy, but it was not fantasy in the sense of pure escapism.

Our government’s focus will be on creating a secure and prosperous environment.

Environmental problems are really social problems anyway. They begin with people as the cause and end with people as the victims.

Radicals can be found in any environment.

A healthy environment is the foundation of a thriving economy.

She had been made to break an accepted social law, but no law known to the environment in which she fancied herself such an anomaly.

Incumbency adds a layer of advantage on top of this party dominance. But rather than foster an environment in which members of Congress feel free to buck popular sentiment and wrestle seriously with the problems confronting the country, it reinforces the ideological divide between the parties

And there were easements and satisfactions. To have a full stomach, to doze lazily in the sunshine–such things were remuneration in full for his ardours and toils, while his ardours and tolls were in themselves self-remunerative. They were expressions of life, and life is always happy when it is expressing itself. So the cub had no quarrel with his hostile environment. He was very much alive, very happy, and very proud of himself.

They were his environment, these men, and they were moulding the clay of him into a more ferocious thing than had been intended by Nature. Nevertheless, Nature had given him plasticity. Where many another animal would have died or had its spirit broken, he adjusted himself and lived, and at no expense of the spirit.

He was a killer, a thing that preyed, living on the things that lived, unaided, alone, by virtue of his own strength and prowess, surviving triumphantly in a hostile environment where only the strong survive.”

The reason I always loved ‘The Omen’ so much, and what has always been scariest to me, is anything to do with God. Anything to do with God is quite frightening because fear is something that’s very much expressed in a church environment, and I grew up in one. And the fear of God was very much instilled me at a very young age.

I grew up in cattle country-that’s why I became a vegetarian. Meat stinks, for the animals, the environment, and your health.

It’s not just about the current economic environment. History shows that slashing budgets always leads to recession.

It’s not just about the current economic environment. History shows that slashing budgets always leads to recession.

People ‘over-produce’ pollution because they are not paying for the costs of dealing with it.

To be alone by being part of the universe-fitting in completely to an environment of woods and silence and peace. Everything you do becomes a unity and a prayer. Unity within and without

I can’t sing but I can understand wanting to keep a balance, trying to pursue dreams, while creating a stable environment for my children.

If my environment dictates my mood, then my life will feel like a roller coaster. The way to steady ground is through my breath.

I don’t see a lot of nature in L.A. Then again, I don’t see a lot when I go back to St. Louis, either.

In every organization, environment affects performance, and baseball clubhouses are no different, that’s why in addition to assisting the rest of the coaching staff on the field, Mark and Alyssa Nakken will focus on fostering a clubhouse culture that promotes high performance through, among other attributes, a deep sense of collaboration and team.

We didn’t really grow up in a gendered environment. We didn’t have a hierarchy. My family is fearless. They truly believe that they have something to contribute to society and that it is an obligation as humans. I try to embed in my children that they have something to contribute. And that you give because you have to, not to be appreciated.

I grew up in a fun-loving environment – you work hard and play hard.

This is happiness. To run before the world is awake in the most beautiful environment here in Kenya’.

Disney is a machine, and I’m grateful for it, but I feel like being part of that environment made me crave the reaction from other projects even more.

Our population and our use of the finite resources of planet Earth are growing exponentially, along with our technical ability to change the environment for good or ill.

The Congress, the Administration and the public all share a profound commitment to the rescue of our natural environment, and the preservation of the Earth as a place both habitable by and hospitable to man.

Kitchens are hard environments and they form incredibly strong characters.

Don’t attempt to reform man. An adequately organized environment will permit humanity’s original, innate capabilities to become successful.

I must reorganize the environment of man by which then greater numbers of men can prosper.

If we design the environment properly, it will permit child and man to develop safely and to behave logically.

Universe to each must be All that is, including me. Environment in turn must be All that is, excepting me.

Don’t change the man. Change his environment.

If you change the environment, you change the people.

To me, a witch is a woman that is capable of letting her intuition take hold of her actions, that communes with her environment, that isn’t afraid of facing challenges.

For me a chameleon is something that disguises itself to look as much like its environment as possible. I always thought I did exactly the opposite of that.

As people alive today, we must consider future generations: a clean environment is a human right like any other. It is, therefore, part of our responsibility toward others to ensure that the world we pass on is as healthy, if not healthier than we found it.

The world has a way of undermining complex plans. This is particularly true in fast moving environments. A fast moving environment can evolve more quickly than a complex plan can be adapted to it. By the time you have adapted, the target has changed.

Oh, I am quite certain that we will have such bases in our lifetime, somewhat like the Antarctic stations and similar scientific outposts — continually manned. Although, certainly there is the problem of the environment, the vacuum, the high and low temperatures of day and night. Still, in all, in many ways, it’s more hospitable than Antarctica might be.

Inductive reason, which alone makes man master of his environment, is an achievement; and when once born it must be reinforced by inhibiting the growth of other modes of knowledge.

We have to heal our wounded world. The chaos, despair, and senseless destruction we see today are a result of the alienation that people feel from each other and their environment.

Foreordain it? No. The man’s circumstances and environment order it. His first act determines the second and all that follow after.

The notion that we are products of our environment is our greatest sin; we are products of our choices.

We won’t have a society if we destroy the environment.

Silence must be comprehended as not solely the absence of sound. It is the natural environment for serenity and contemplation. Life without silence is life without privacy. The difference between sanity and madness is the quality of our thoughts. Silence is on the side of sanity.

Education must provide the opportunities for self-fulfillment; it can at best provide a rich and challenging environment for the individual to explore, in his own way.

I grew up in an environment where being polite was taken as a weakness. So, I just fought everybody

I’m a product of my environment.

Every living thing is a sort of imperialist, seeking to transform as much as possible of its environment into itself and its seed. When we compare the (present) human population of the globe with… that of former times, we see that “chemical imperialism” has been… the main end to which human intelligence has been devoted.

You are the master of your destiny. You can influence, direct and control your own environment. You can make your life what you want it to be.

A kind of net for effecting an involuntary change of environment. For fish it is made strong and coarse, but women are more easily taken with a singularly delicate fabric weighted with small, cut stones

In the absence of sound oversight, responsible businesses are forced to compete against unscrupulous and underhanded businesses, who are unencumbered by any restrictions on activities that might harm the environment, or take advantage of middle-class families, or threaten to bring down the entire financial system.

I love being immersed in nature, going to places in the world that are pristine and untouched by man. It’s almost a religious experience when you go to a place like the Amazon, and there’s no civilization for thousands of miles.

If you’re old, don’t try to change yourself, change your environment.

The ideal of behaviorism is to eliminate coercion: to apply controls by changing the environment in such a way as to reinforce the kind of behavior that benefits everyone.

The environment shapes people’s actions.

Must we wait for selection to solve the problems of overpopulation, exhaustion of resources, pollution of the environment and a nuclear holocaust, or can we take explicit steps to make our future more secure? In the latter case, must we not transcend selection?

The environment will continue to deteriorate until pollution practices are abandoned.

Those few people who do respond to the dire conditions of the future – journalists, environmentalists, behavioral scientists – tend not to be powerful.

If you’re old, don’t try to change yourself, change your environment.

The environment does not determine behavior. Rather, it provides the occasion for the behavior.

Global warming is not only the No.1 environmental challenge we face today but one of the most important issues facing all of humanity. We all have to do our part to raise awareness about global warming and the problems we as a people face in promoting a sustainable environmental future for our planet.

We can easily represent things as we wish them to be

Men often applaud an imitation and hiss the real thing

Who acts in haste repents at leisure

Do not let your enemies see your methods, do not let them guess your plans

It is in the character of very few men to honor without envy a friend who has prospered

The environment is everything that isn’t me.

There is much the government can do and should do to improve the environment. But even more important is the individual who plants a tree or cleans a corner of neglect. For it is the individual who himself benefits, and also protects a heritage of beauty for his children and future generations.

The environment is where we all meet; where all have a mutual interest; it is the one thing all of us share.

A person’s readiness to date is largely a matter of maturity and environment.

Companies face a handful of different risks, whether it is competitors or different market environments. But I think that people focus way too much on competitors and not enough on their own execution.

Happiness, not in another place, but this place…not for another hour, but this hour.
