The effects of climate change are real and must be acted on.

Nothing is more terrible than to see ignorance in action.

How oft the sight of means to do ill deeds makes ill deeds done!

We must act out passion before we can feel it.

Can you imagine what a different world we will live in when businesses do what’s right for the communities and the environment in everything they do?

The squandering of oil and gas is associated with one of the greatest tragedies, not in the least resolved, which is suffered by humankind: climate change.

I would like to see a future where artists think that they have a right to contemplate things like global warming.

If you have the chance to be exposed to a loving, understanding environment where the seed of compassion, loving kindness, can be watered every day, then you become a more loving person.

We’ve got to keep our eye on what’s happening with Russia and North Korea. We cannot lose sight of domestic policy, either. Healthcare. Immigration. Climate change.

The public is strongly in favor of the Kyoto Protocols, so strongly in favor that a majority of Bush voters thought that he was in favor of it. They are simply unaware.

Besides entertainment and action, I want to educate. You know, as a producer or director, we do have a responsibility to society.

When I hear a man preach, I like to see him act as if he were fighting bees.

Thought and theory must precede all salutary action; yet action is nobler in itself than either thought or theory.

However many holy words you read, however many you speak, what good will they do you if you do not act on upon them?

The reality is gas prices should be much more expensive then they are because we’re not incorporating the true damage to the environment and the hidden costs of mining oil and transporting it to the U.S. Whenever you have an unpriced externality, you have a bit of a market failure, to the degree that eternality remains unpriced.

Every art and every inquiry, and similarly every action and choice, is thought to aim at some good; and for this reason the good has rightly been declared to be that at which all things aim.

You might sooner get lightning out of incense smoke than true action or passion out of your modern English religion.

You could warm Mars up, over time, with greenhouse gases.

We have to rethink our whole energy approach, which is hard to do because we’re so dependent on oil, not just for fuel but also plastic. If plastic vanished, there would be total chaos. We have to think quite carefully about using oil and its derivatives, because it’s not going to be around forever.

‚Speed‘ and ‚Point Break‘ were a lot of running and jumping, and then ‚The Matrix Trilogy‘ had a lot of fights and wire work and green screen elements.

I was born in London in England in 1934. I went through, as a child, the horrors of World War II, through a time when food was rationed and we learned to be very careful, and we never had more to eat than what we needed to eat. There was no waste. Everything was used.

Whatever you have, you must either use or lose.

Be wary of the man who urges an action in which he himself incurs no risk.

There’s 20 companies that I have investments in – some batteries, some solar-thermal, one big nuclear thing. We need hundreds and hundreds of companies like that, so that in a 20-year time frame we really are starting to change the energy infrastructure.

Don’t be too timid and squeamish about your actions. All life is an experiment.

Pleasure and action make the hours seem short.

Never confuse motion with action.

The end of man is action, and not thought, though it be of the noblest.

In wildness is the preservation of the world.

I have been impressed with the urgency of doing. Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Being willing is not enough; we must do.

The main message of Climate Revolution is that climate change is caused by the rotten financial system we’ve got, designed to create poverty and rip off any profits for a small amount of rich people. Meanwhile, it destroys the earth.

Let us not be too particular; it is better to have old secondhand diamonds than none at all.

Why should we think upon things that are lovely? Because thinking determines life. It is a common habit to blame life upon the environment. Environment modifies life but does not govern life. The soul is stronger than its surroundings.

One thing is sure. We have to do something. We have to do the best we know how at the moment… If it doesn’t turn out right, we can modify it as we go along.

Climate change is a terrible problem, and it absolutely needs to be solved. It deserves to be a huge priority.

If a man walks in the woods for love of them half of each day, he is in danger of being regarded as a loafer. But if he spends his days as a speculator, shearing off those woods and making the earth bald before her time, he is deemed an industrious and enterprising citizen.

If anyone has a vested interest in space solar power, it would have to be me.

Narrative is linear, but action has breadth and depth as well as height and is solid.

Nothing is being done to stop the climate and ecological emergency from happening and to secure the future wellbeing for future generations.

I’m glad to see that BMW is bringing an electric car to market. That’s cool.

Some scientists believe climate change is the cause of unprecedented melting of the North Pole, and that effects these very uncertain weather patterns. I think we should listen to those scientists and experts.

We shape our buildings; thereafter they shape us.

To act is to be committed, and to be committed is to be in danger.

We begin to see, therefore, the importance of selecting our environment with the greatest of care, because environment is the mental feeding ground out of which the food that goes into our minds is extracted.

It’s not worth doing something unless you were doing something that someone, somewere, would much rather you weren’t doing.

Little by little, not by making big promises, I need to be calmer, read more, spend more time with my loved ones, and be more mindful about nature and environment.

Gardening is not a rational act.

Environment is very important to me. Sometimes I have to perform during the day for festivals, and my music does not work in the daytime. It is nighttime music.

I have also seen children successfully surmounting the effects of an evil inheritance. That is due to purity being an inherent attribute of the soul.

When you have enough understanding and compassion in you, then that amount of understanding and compassion will try to express itself in action. And your practice should help you to cultivate more understanding and compassion.

It’s so much easier to pray for a bore than to go and see one.

I do not believe in a fate that falls on men however they act; but I do believe in a fate that falls on them unless they act.

Words differently arranged have a different meaning, and meanings differently arranged have different effects.

Many people say that this is not an easy issue, we cannot just say that this is how it is, it’s not black and white. But I say that this is black and white. Either we stop the emissions or we don’t. There are no gray areas when it comes to survival.

It isn’t pollution that’s harming the environment. It’s the impurities in our air and water that are doing it.

Action may not always bring happiness; but there is no happiness without action.

The illegal we do immediately. The unconstitutional takes a little longer.

Conviction is worthless unless it is converted into conduct.

Once we start to act, hope is everywhere. So instead of looking for hope, look for action. Then, and only then, hope will come.

Our faith is released as we say, pray and do the Word.
