Famous quotes containing the word climate:

    “Certainly parents play a crucial role in the lives of individuals who are intellectually gifted or creatively talented. But this role is not one of active instruction, of teaching children skills,... rather, it is support and encouragement parents give children and the intellectual climate that they create in the home which seem to be the critical factors.”
    —David Elkind (20th century)

    “Russian forests crash down under the axe, billions of trees are dying, the habitations of animals and birds are layed waste, rivers grow shallow and dry up, marvelous landscapes are disappearing forever.... Man is endowed with creativity in order to multiply that which has been given him; he has not created, but destroyed. There are fewer and fewer forests, rivers are drying up, wildlife has become extinct, the climate is ruined, and the earth is becoming ever poorer and uglier.”
    —Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)

    “The climate has been described as “ten months winter and two months mighty late in the fall.””
    —Administration in the State of Colo, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
