Hydraulic fracturing requires massive amounts of water. Disposing of the toxic wastewater as well as accidental spills can contaminate drinking water and harm human health.

What I mean by that is that the point of life as I see it is not to write books or scale mountains or sail oceans but to achieve happiness and preferably an unselfish happiness.

There is no correlation between happiness and amounts of money.

I've run into certain geniuses of individualism - they are very few and far between - who live their lives completely on their own terms they are very powerful and have a great amount of happiness. We all should aspire to that.

Everyone needs a certain amount of money. Beyond that we pursue money because we know how to obtain it. We don't necessarily know how to obtain happiness.

Happiness includes chiefly the idea of satisfaction after full honest effort. No one can possibly be satisfied and no one can be happy who feels that in some paramount affairs he failed to take up the challenge of life.

If you wait for the perfect moment when all is safe and assured it may never arrive. Mountains will not be climbed races won or lasting happiness achieved.

When I meet people who say - which they do all of the time - 'I must just tell you my great aunt had cancer of the elbow and the doctors gave her 10 seconds to live but last I heard she was climbing Mount Everest ' and so forth I switch off quite early.

Hugs can do great amounts of good - especially for children.

Great things are done when men and mountains meet.

I have great people smart people that are around me and we love the challenge. I guess it's like climbing a mountain or building a building. It's a challenge but you love every challenge that it brings or presents itself.

I never weary of great churches. It is my favorite kind of mountain scenery. Mankind was never so happily inspired as when it made a cathedral.

The government deficit is the difference between the amount of money the government spends and the amount it has the nerve to collect.

I believe that for the small numbers of Jewish people in the United States they exercise a tremendous amount of influence on the affairs of government.

I believed the only thing that could turn around this government spending and mounting debt would be if the people rose up.

I would cap the amount of federal government can spend at 20 percent of the economy. Bring it back to 20 percent or lower. And say we are not going to spend above that level. Democrats they want to raise your taxes and spend more and more and turn us into an economy which is no longer driven by the private sector.

Our attitudes control our lives. Attitudes are a secret power working twenty-four hours a day for good or bad. It is of paramount importance that we know how to harness and control this great force.

To assert in any case that a man must be absolutely cut off from society because he is absolutely evil amounts to saying that society is absolutely good and no-one in his right mind will believe this today.

Climb the mountains and get their good tidings.

It is wonderful how much time good people spend fighting the devil. If they would only expend the same amount of energy loving their fellow men the devil would die in his own tracks of ennui.

Small amounts of philosophy lead to atheism but larger amounts bring us back to God.

The will is a beast of burden. If God mounts it it wishes and goes as God wills if Satan mounts it it wishes and goes as Satan wills Nor can it choose its rider... the riders contend for its possession.

It's wonderful to climb the liquid mountains of the sky. Behind me and before me is God and I have no fears.

I just want to do God's will. And he's allowed me to go to the mountain. And I've looked over and I've seen the promised land! I may not get there with you but I want you to know tonight that we as a people will get to the promised land.
