United Nations Environment

Famous quotes containing the words united, nations and/or environment:

    Emblem: the carapace of the great crowned snail is painted with all the flags of the United Nations.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    All the events which make the annals of the nations are but the shadows of our private experiences.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    We learn through experience and experiencing, and no one teaches anyone anything. This is as true for the infant moving from kicking to crawling to walking as it is for the scientist with his equations. If the environment permits it, anyone can learn whatever he chooses to learn; and if the individual permits it, the environment will teach him everything it has to teach.
    Viola Spolin (b. 1911)
