"To cherish what remains of the Earth and to foster its renewal is our only legitimate hope of survival." ― Wendell Berry Topic(s): Hope More From Wendell Berry "I come into the peace of wild things who do not tax their lives with forethought of grief… For a time I rest in the grace of the world, and am free." "Why should conservationists have a positive interest in… farming? There are lots of reasons, but the plainest is: Conservationists eat." "The past is our definition. We may strive with good reason to escape it, or to escape what is bad in it. But we will escape it only by adding something better to it." More In Hope "A person, who no matter how desperate the situation, gives others hope, is a true leader."― Daisaku Ikeda "Well, Judy, I would hope in the new year, we could start thinking about politics not like it was the Super Bowl, where you always have to have one team that wins and the other team has to be a loser."― John Breaux "We have a hope of succeeding if we learn from our past mistakes and pull together to make the hard choices."― Carl Levin
