I was never one to go up to someone as a five- or six-year-old and say, "Hello, my name's Paul, will you be my friend?"

You will suddenly realize that the reason you never changed before was because you didn't want to. ~Robert H. Schuller
#quotes #robert-h-schuller #change

I don't mean to imply that we are in imminent danger of being wiped off the face of the earth; at least, not on account of global warming. But climate change does confront us with profound new realities. We face these new realities as a nation, as members of the world community, as consumers, as producers, and as investors. And unless we do a better job of adjusting to these new realities, we will pay a heavy price. We may not suffer the fate of the dinosaurs. But there will be a toll on our environment and on our economy, and the toll will rise higher with each new generation. ~Eileen Claussen
