Image
I sometimes wonder if two thirds of the globe is covered in red carpet.
Prince Charles
Image
It is baffling, I must say, that in our modern world we have such blind trust in science and technology that we all accept what science tells us about everything - until, that is, it comes to climate science.
Prince Charles
Image
I learned the way a monkey learns - by watching its parents.
Prince Charles
Image
It is vitally important that we can continue to say, with absolute conviction, that organic farming delivers the highest quality, best-tasting food, produced without artificial chemicals or genetic modification, and with respect for animal welfare and the environment, while helping to maintain the landscape and rural communities.

Business is recognizing the role it can play in combatting climate change. Thank God, is all I can say, for there is a desperately urgent need for business to play that role. Your lobbying influence can be substantial, but together, united and in large enough numbers it could prove decisive in turning the tide.

. . . a jostling scrum of office buildings so mediocre that the only way you ever remember them is by the frustration they induce - like a basketball team standing shoulder to shoulder between you and the Mona Lisa.
Prince Charles
Image
There's nothing like a jolly good disaster to get people to start doing something.
Prince Charles
Image
As human beings we suffer from an innate tendency to jump to conclusions to judge people too quickly and to pronounce them failures or heroes without due consideration of the actual facts and ideals of the period.
Prince Charles
Image
We don't, in a sensible world, want to hand on an increasingly dysfunctional world to our grandchildren.
Prince Charles
Image
Why can't we have those curves and arches that express feeling in design? What is wrong with them? Why has everything got to be vertical, straight, unbending, only at right angles - and functional?
Prince Charles
Image
The whole imposing edifice of modern medicine is like the celebrated tower of Pisa - slightly off balance.
Prince Charles
Image
If you think about your and my grandchildren, this is what really worries me. I don't want them - if I'm still alive by then - to say, 'Why didn't you do something about it?', when you could have done.
Prince Charles
Image
Fast food may appear to be cheap food and, in the literal sense it often is, but that is because huge social and environmental costs are being excluded from the calculations.
Prince Charles
Image
It is now 14 years since I first suggested that organic farming might have some benefits and ought to be taken seriously. I shall never forget the vehemence of the reaction.. much of it coming from the sort of people who regard agriculture as an industrial process, with production as the sole yardstick of success.

Christianity was literally born in the Middle East, and we must not forget our Middle Eastern brothers and sisters in Christ.
Prince Charles
Image
Any difficulties which the world faces today will be as nothing compared to the full effects which global warming will have on the world-wide economy.

Image
Grandparenthood is a unique moment in anyone's life, as countless kind people have told me in recent months, so I am enormously proud and happy to be a grandfather for the first time and we are eagerly looking forward to seeing the baby in the near future.
Prince Charles
Image
All I'm saying is that there is a price to be paid at the sharp end.. environmentally and everywhere else.. for the food that is produced in a particular way.
Prince Charles
Image
Humility is to make a right estimate of one's self. It is no humility for a man to think less of himself than he ought, though it might rather puzzle him to do that.

Be neither too remote nor too familiar.
