Henry Ward Beecher Quotes
There have been many men who left behind them that which hundreds of years have not worn out. The earth has Socrates and Plato to this day.

But of how many of us shall it be said that, being dead, we yet speak?

This planet is not terra firma. It is a delicate flower and it must be cared for. It's lonely. It's small. It's isolated, and there is no resupply. And we are mistreating it.
