Zoe Weil quotes:

Someday, I hope that we will all be patriots of our planet and not just of our respective nations.

What we love, we protect. This story will delight children and parents alike, who care for what they love.

Reverence is an emotion that we can nurture in our very young children, respect is an attitude that we instill in our children as they become school-agers, and responsibility is an act that we inspire in our children as they grow through the middle years and become adolescents.

All it takes for generosity to flow is awareness. By actively pursuing awareness and knowledge, we can make choices that cause less harm and greater good to others in the global community of our shared earth.

Asking questions is liberating because we develop great understanding and discover more choices with our new knowledge
