The essence of humanity's spiritual dilemma is that we evolved genetically to accept one truth and discovered another. Is there a way to erase the dilemma, to resolve the contradictions between the transcendentalist and the empiricist world views?

When you have seen one ant, one bird, one tree, you have not seen them all.

Human nature is deeper and broader than the artificial contrivance of any existing culture.

An individual ant, even though it has a brain about a millionth of a size of a human being's, can learn a maze; the kind we use is a simple rat maze in a laboratory. They can learn it about one-half as fast as a rat.

In many environments, take away the ants and there would be partial collapses in many of the land ecosystems.

You are capable of more than you know. Choose a goal that seems right for you and strive to be the best, however hard the path. Aim high. Behave honorably. Prepare to be alone at times, and to endure failure. Persist! The world needs all you can give.

Destroying a tropical rainforest for profit is like burning all the paintings of the Louvre to cook dinner.
