Part 2 Purpose and Principles

Under that section, the RMA has one specifically defined purpose; to promote the sustainable management of natural and physical resources.

Famous quotes containing the words part, purpose and/or principles:

    Film is more than the twentieth-century art. It’s another part of the twentieth-century mind. It’s the world seen from inside. We’ve come to a certain point in the history of film. If a thing can be filmed, the film is implied in the thing itself. This is where we are. The twentieth century is on film.... You have to ask yourself if there’s anything about us more important than the fact that we’re constantly on film, constantly watching ourselves.
    Don Delillo (b. 1926)

    Politics should share one purpose with religion: the steady emancipation of the individual through the education of his passions.
    George F. Will (b. 1941)

    To abandon oneself to principles is really to die—and to die for an impossible love which is the contrary of love.
    Albert Camus (1913–1960)
