More quotes by Al Gore
The Internet empowers individuals to play a more active role in the political process, as Obama's campaign has manifested.
Al Gore
And nobody is talking about taking guns away from hunters or sportsmen or banning all guns. Nobody is talking about that.
Al Gore
Although I have a variety of obligations, the climate crisis is my central concern.
Al Gore
During my service in the United States Congress, I took the initiative in creating the Internet. I took the initiative in moving forward a whole range of initiatives that have proven to be important to our country's economic growth and environmental protection, improvements in our educational system.
Al Gore
I have a sense of mission on this climate crisis, and I'm trying to pour all the energy I have into it. And I hope that I, along with others, can catalyze the emergence of real solutions to the climate crisis. I think we're making a lot of progress. I think we're going to win this, but it matters how quickly we win it. So I'm focused on that.
Al Gore
The rule of reason is the true sovereign in the American system.
Al Gore
The age of printed pamphlets and political essays has long since been replaced by television, a distracting and absorbing medium which seems determined to entertain itself more than it informs and educates.
Al Gore
Believe in the power of your own voice.
Al Gore
It seems an easy choice - sacrifice the tree for a human life - until one learns that three trees must be destroyed for each patient treated. Suddenly we must confront some tough questions. How important are the medical needs of future generations?
Al Gore
Adopting a central organizing principle means embarking on an all-out effort to use every policy and program, every law and institution, to halt the destruction of the environment.
Al Gore
We have to abandon the conceit that isolated personal actions are going to solve this crisis. Our policies have to shift.
Al Gore
Any child born into the hugely consumptionist way of life so common in the industrial world will have an impact that is, on average, many times more destructive than that of a child born in the developing world.
Al Gore
As president, I will bring all the parties and stakeholders together. I am going to come up with a solution that respects the environment and does not cause an upheaval in the economy.
Al Gore
Now we have things that are obviously false, leading us to war, leading us to deny people health care, leading us to ignore the climate crisis. We have to restore the integrity of the democratic conversation.
Al Gore
I'm naturally an optimist, but my basis for hope is rooted in my understanding of human nature.
Al Gore
I used to have a military officer travelling with me at all times with a suitcase - referred to as the nuclear football - in case it had to be used.
Al Gore
There is an air of unreality in debating these arcane points when the world is changing in such dramatic ways right in front of our eyes because of global warming.
Al Gore
You have to rip your opponent's lungs out and then move on.
Al Gore
We can't negotiate the facts. We can't negotiate the truth about the situation. And for those who are too fearful to finish, it can be done and must be done. Make sure we succeed, . . . It is wrong for this generation to destroy the habitability of our planet and ruin the prospects of every future generation.
Al Gore
I'm not trying to top anything. I'm trying to be useful, to play a positive role, to serve the public interest.
Al Gore
