Gunnar, I'm not sure this is what Ayelet is looking for, but thought I would send it in just in case. "To waste, to destroy, our natural resources, to skin and exhaust the land instead of using it so as to increase it's usefulness, will result in undermining in the days of our children the very prosperity which we ought by right to hand down to them amplified and developed." Theodore Roosevelt I found this at the following site: http://www.naturenode.com/quotes/quotes.html Best Regards, Sandi From: Gunnar Hjalmarsson <quotation-ring@gunnar.cc> Reply-To: quotation-ring-l@gunnar.cc To: quotation-ring-l@gunnar.cc CC: Ayelet <liveoakalliance@yahoo.com> Subject: [QRList] Protect the natural world Date: Mon, 21 Feb 2000 00:36:12 +0100 Forwarded letter from Ayelet: Hello. I am desperately looking for an inspiring quote by a Republican that refers to the need for humans to protect the natural world as a living legacy for future generations, or something similar. I know Teddy Roosevelt and Barry Goldwater both did great things for the environment, but I can't seem to find and relevant quotes on the web or in the books I've found so far. Any ideas? I am an organizer for the campaign to end the $1-billion-a-year timber subsidy and get logging off national forests, and I'm trying to form a campaign that has the broadest appeal possible. Thanks for your help. Ayelet ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
