Natural Resources Quotes - Page 8

• There is a delight in the hardy life of the open. There are no words that can tell the hidden spirit of the wilderness, that can reveal its mystery, its melancholy and its charm. The nation behaves well if it treats the natural resources as assets which it must turn over to the next generation increased; and not impaired in value. Conservation means development as much as it does protection.

  Theodore Roosevelt

  Mean, Delight, Development

• The experience of the ages that are past, the hopes of the ages that are yet to come, unite their voices in an appeal to us;– they implore us to think more of the character of our people than of its numbers; to look upon our vast natural resources, not as tempters to ostentation and pride, but as means to be converted by the refining alchemy of education into mental and spiritual treasures; ...and thus give to the world the example of a nation whose wisdom increases with its prosperity, and whose virtues are equal to its power.

• Look at all of the great strengths of America: entrepreneurialship, work ethic, natural resources, a democracy, a transparency, a willingness to be critical. Around the world, they look at us, and they say, "Why are you criticizing yourself? Why are you people arguing during the political process to elect a president or somebody else?" That's the great strength of this country.

• Creo que para afrontar el reto de nuestro tiempo, los seres humanos tendrán que desarrollar un mayor sentido de la responsabilidad universal. Todos debemos aprender a trabajar no sólo para nosotros mismos, nuestra familia o nuestra nación, sino en beneficio de toda la humanidad. La responsabilidad universal es la clave de la supervivencia humana. Es la mejor base para la paz mundial, el uso equitativo de los recursos naturales y, a través de la preocupación por las generaciones futuras, el cuidado adecuado del medio ambiente.

• We have to acknowledge that we can't look to manufacturing or natural resources to drive growth like we have in the past. Human capital, talent, and knowledge are our most important resources now. Every city has hidden seeds of opportunity waiting to be nurtured. Places like Detroit, Cleveland, and Pittsburgh are among my favorite cities. They have great universities, clusters of innovation across a range of industries, and pools of innovative and creative talent to build on.

• Build creative cultures, and work with purpose to unleash the creativity of your team. Creativity is the most valuable natural resource in any organization, yet it is often a resource that is largely untapped. The leaders that prioritize and invest in creative cultures will be the wall street darlings of tomorrow. In fact, they're the darlings of today (Facebook, Groupon, LinkedIn, etc).

• La economía rural es significativamente mejor. Nuestros recursos naturales, especialmente nuestras tierras de labor, son más resistentes.
