“The forest is a peculiar
organism of unlimited kindness and
benevolence that makes no demands for its
sustenance and extends generously the products
of its life activity; it affords protection to all beings,
offering shade even to the axe-man who destroys it.”
- Gautama Buddha
“The forest is not a
resource for us, it is life itself.
It is the only place for us to live.”
- Franklin D. Roosevelt
“A nation that destroys its
soils destroys itself. Forests are
the lungs of our land, purifying the air
and giving fresh strength to our people.”
- Franklin D. Roosevelt
"The clearest way
into theuniverse is
through a forest wilderness"
- Gautama Buddha
"What we are doing to the forests of the world is but a mirror reflection of what we are doing to ourselves and to one another."
- Mahatma Gandhi
