I haven't inherited the earth from my parents, I am borrowing it from my children.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
If I leave this Earth, I want to leave this Earth just knowing I've tried to give something back and tried to do something worthwhile with myself.
We owe it to each other - and to our children and grandchildren - to leave our planet in a better state than when we found it.
The earth has a life of its own.
I am very different as a parent to new kids. My work changed from being rooted in the sky to being rooted in the earth.
I have inherited nothing. Everything Ann and I have we have earned the old-fashioned way.
Every time I took a long leave from home, I felt as if I were going to conquer the world. Or rather, take possession of what is my birthright, my inheritance.
Through no divine design or cosmic plan, we have inherited the mantle of life's caretaker on the earth, the only home we have ever known.
All the earth is mine, and I have a right to go all over it and through it.
One Earth, one mother - one does not sell the Earth.
The earth is a tremendous gift. There is nothing else like it in the known universe. I want to leave it the way I found it.
