Gabi mentioned a quote last week that resonates with me. It was said by Chief Seattle more than 150 years ago, but is still incredibly poignant today:
"Teach your children what we have taught ours, that the earth is our mother. Whatever befalls the earth befalls the sons of the earth. The earth does not belong to man; man belongs to the earth. Man did not weave the web of life; he is merely a strand in it. We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors; we borrow it from our children."

Definitely something everyone should consider in their actions these days.
I love the quote “We do not inherit the earth from our Ancestors, we borrow it from our Children.” I am going to use it soon on a wall. Do you know for sure that Chief Seattle said it and that it is part of the “web” quote?
According to the article in The Hindu newspaper (link in the post), it was said by Chief Seattle, but I can’t be sure, unfortunately!
