Eric Hoffer Quotes on Nature
-
One would like to see mankind spend the balance of the century in a total effort to clean up and groom the surface of the globe - wipe out the jungles, turn deserts and swamps into arable land, terrace barren mountains, regulate rivers, eradicate all pests, control the weather, and make the whole land mass a fit habitation for Man. The globe should be our and not nature's home, and we no longer nature's guests.
-
Nature has no compassion. Nature accepts no excuses and the only punishment it knows is death.
-
Animals can learn, but it is not by learning that they become dogs, cats, or horses. Only man has to learn to become what he is supposed to be.
-
The role the unfit play in human affairs should make us pause whenever we are prompted to see man as a mere animal and not a being of an order apart.
