Quotations regarding 'Ants'
I put quite a few trees in last autumn. A lot of silver birch and a couple of native trees - just generally doing gardening, putting plants in and hedges in. It takes quite a lot of time and I love it.
Sean Bean, English Actor (1959- )
Many are needed to plant and water what has been planted now that the faith has spread so far and there are so many people... No matter who plants or waters, God gives no harvest unless what is planted is the faith of Peter and unless he agrees to his teachings.
Thomas Becket, English Clergyman (1118-1170)
But the prospects of designing chemical plants for industrial scale chemical processes seemed far less interesting than the chemical events that occur in biological systems.
Paul Berg, American Scientist (1926- )
The ground we walk on, the plants and creatures, the clouds above constantly dissolving into new formations - each gift of nature possessing its own radiant energy, bound together by cosmic harmony.
Ruth Bernhard, German Photographer (1905-2006)
This evidence is overwhelming at this point. You eat more plants, you eat less other stuff, you live longer.
Mark Bittman, American Author
The USDA is not our ally here. We have to take matters into our own hands, not only by advocating for a better diet for everyone - and that's the hard part - but by improving our own. And that happens to be quite easy. Less meat, less junk, more plants.
Mark Bittman, American Author
In my lifetime, we've gone from Eisenhower to George W. Bush. We've gone from John F. Kennedy to Al Gore. If this is evolution, I believe that in twelve years, we'll be voting for plants.
Lewis Black, American Comedian (1948- )
Our plants had now increased to 252: as they were all kept on shore at the tent I augmented the guard there, though from the general conduct of the natives there did not appear the least occasion for so much caution.
William Bligh, British Soldier (1754-1817)
Never go to a doctor whose office plants have died.
Erma Bombeck, American Journalist (1927-1996)
The world has achieved brilliance without wisdom, power without conscience. Our is a world of nuclear giants and ethical infants.
Omar N. Bradley, American Soldier (1893-1981)
Ours is a world of nuclear giants and ethical infants. We know more about war that we know about peace, more about killing that we know about living.
Omar N. Bradley, American Soldier (1893-1981)
I was a town child, it is true, but that did not prevent me enjoying open-air life, with plants and animals.
Georg Brandes, Danish Critic (1842-1927)
Why can't teachers end up owning schools, the way waiters can open their own restaurants?
Peter Brimelow, British Journalist
Mostly I enjoy the restaurants (my husband is a chef), though I wish we had a wider diversity of ethnic food.
Poppy Z. Brite, American Author (1967- )
I am not a vegetarian because I love animals; I am a vegetarian because I hate plants.
A. Whitney Brown, American Comedian (1952- )
If we had paid no more attention to our plants than we have to our children, we would now be living in a jungle of weed.
Luther Burbank, American Environmentalist (1849-1926)
If Broadway shows charge preview prices while the cast is in dress rehearsal, why should restaurants charge full price when their dining room and kitchen staffs are still practicing?
Marian Burros, -
The California crunch really is the result of not enough power-generating plants and then not enough power to power the power of generating plants.
George W. Bush, American President (1946- )
That's not all our crops can do. We are also learning how to transform plants into factories. We can now raise plants that will create enzymes that would otherwise be created in chemical factories.
Thomas Carper, American Economist (1947- )
Pray look better, Sir... those things yonder are no giants, but windmills.
Miguel de Cervantes, Spanish Novelist (1547-1616)
