In some parts of the world, what you are doing is already apparent.according to the world health organization, the warming of the planet caused an additional 140,000 deaths in 2004, as compared with the number of deaths there would have been had average global temperatures remained as they were during the period 1961 to 1990. this means that climate change is already causing, every week, as many deaths as occured in the terrorist attacks on september 11, 2001.

It is not the high summer alone that is god's. the winter also is his. and into his winter he came to visit us. and all man's winters are his - the winter of our poverty, the winter of our sorrow, the winter of our unhappiness - even 'the winter of our discontent.

My paramount object in this struggle is to save the union, and is not either to save or to destroy slavery. if i could save the union without freeing any slave i would do it, and if i could save it by freeing all the slaves i would do it; and if i could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone i would also do that. what i do about slavery, and the colored race, i do because i believe it helps to save the union; and what i forbear, i forbear because i do not believe it would help to save the union.

You will die. you will not live forever. nor will any man nor any thing. nothing is immortal. but only to us is it given to know that we must die. and that is a great gift: the gift of selfhood. for we have only what we know we must lose, what we are willing to lose... that selfhood which is our torment, and our treasure, and our humanity, does not endure. it changes; it is gone, a wave on the sea. would you have the sea grow still and the tides cease, to save one wave, to save yourself?

Society in every state is a blessing, but government even in its best state is but a necessary evil; in its worst state an intolerable one; for when we suffer, or are exposed to the same miseries by a government, which we might expect in a country without government, our calamity is heightened by reflecting that we furnish the means by which we suffer.
