Famous quotes containing the words endangered and/or species:

    “Government ... thought [it] could transform the country through massive national programs, but often the programs did not work. Too often they only made things worse. In our rush to accomplish great deeds quickly, we trampled on sound principles of restraint and endangered the rights of individuals.”
    —Gerald R. Ford (b. 1913)

    “Let us guard against saying that death is opposed to life. The living is merely a species of the dead, and a very rare species.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
