When we think of the major threats to our national security, the first to come to mind are nuclear proliferation, rogue states and global terrorism. But another kind of threat lurks beyond our shores, one...

I sometimes think that animals are incapable of the kinds of cruelty that humans willingly inflict on each other.

I am not stopping till my enemies become my friends.

Beauty is more popular than virtues because it is more visible than virtues.

Always remember, animals can intimidate men with their strength but men cannot intimidate animals with their intelligence.

That’s enough crying about the problems, let’s begin killing the problems.

I’ve never met a strong person with an easy past.

Wengine hatuishi kama wafalme kwa sababu ya nguvu za giza – zilizopo kati ya Mungu na wanadamu. Nyota zetu zimefunikwa. Una kila kitu unachotafuta, ndani ya moyo wako. Usitafute furaha, utajiri au amani nje ya...

It is my understanding from an intuitive relationship with animals that it is complete folly to try to figure out what is right or wrong for humans by observing what other animals are doing. Observe...

White people are potential humans – they haven’t evolved yet.

Earthlings went on being friendly, when they should have been thinking instead.

Your abilities are not enough to fulfill your wishes, so work considering your wishes and not your abilities.

Habits are good if you have the habit of the best.

A scientist is proud of his intelligence, an artist is proud of his imagination.

Take care of your manners as seriously as your money.

The function of a heart is to keep the body alive, I genuinely believe it is mind which takes care of everything else.

People need appreciation from more persons than they need love from one person.

The most dangerous irony is, people are angry with others because of their own incompetence.

I suppose a human’s carriage is a dwarf’s bus.

What is the bottom line for the animal/human hierarchy? I think it is at the animate/inanimate line, and Carol Adams and others are close to it: we eat them. This is what humans want from...

I am a 21st century person who was accidentally launched in the 20th. I have a deep nostalgia for the future

A heart pulsating in harmony with the circulation of sap and the flow of rivers? A body with the rhythms of the earth in its movements? No. Instead: a mind, shut off from the oxygen...

Everything made by human hands looks terrible under magnification–crude, rough, and asymmetrical. But in nature every bit of life is lovely. And the more magnification we use, the more details are brought out, perfectly formed,...

Planetologist call it the conundrum of unforeseen ecological consequence. I call it the whack-a-mole rule of human meddling. She clasped both hands like a child hammering. WHACK! We change something here. Oops, that makes another...

Rather than heralding a new era of easy living, the Agricultural Revolution left farmers with lives generally more difficult and less satisfying than those of foragers. Hunter-gatherers spent their time in more stimulating and varied...

Ah, this dear old planet! All is clear now. We know ourselves; we now know of what we are capable.

Between natural ability and education choose natural ability, as it will keep you happy and will fetch you the glory sooner.

I don’t understand this irony – valuable things like cars, gold, diamond are made up of hard materials but most valuable things like money, contracts and books are made up of soft paper.
