Voltaire
The fruits of the earth are a common heritage of all, to which each man has equal right.

Arundhati Roy
The trouble is that once you see (injustice), you can't unsee it. And once you've seen it, keeping quiet, saying nothing, becomes as political an act as speaking out. There's no innocence. Either way, you're accountable.

Henry George
Where the conditions of material progress are most fully realized, we find the deepest poverty and the sharpest struggle for existence.

Garrett Hardin
(O)ur particular concept of private property, which deters us from exhausting the positive resources of the earth, favors pollution.

Native American Proverb
We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children.

Thomas Paine
I care not how affluent some may be provided none are miserable in consequence of it.
