More quotes by Prince Charles
While the demand for organic food outstrips supply, we happen to know that 77 percent of consumers don't want genetically engineered crops grown in this country. Consumers can choose whether or not to buy organic produce. Genetically modified ingredients will deny us choice in the long run.
Prince Charles
To get the best results you must talk to your vegetables.
Prince Charles
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
All the time I feel I must justify my existence.
Prince Charles
I think we're going to find, with climate change and everything else, things like global warming and goodness knows what else and the cost of fuel for a start, that things are going to become very complicated.
Prince Charles
Father told me that if I ever met a lady in a dress like yours, I must look her straight in the eyes.
Prince Charles
I miss my grandmother every day. I miss her vitality, her interest in the lives of others, her courage and determination, her perceptive wisdom, her calm in the face of all difficulties, her steadfast belief in the British people and above all her unstoppable sense of mischievous humour.
Prince Charles
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.
Prince Charles
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.
Prince Charles
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
Hong Kong has created one of the most successful societies on Earth.
Prince Charles
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.
Prince Charles
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
I sometimes wonder if two thirds of the globe is covered in red carpet.
Prince Charles
I find myself born into this particular position. I'm determined to make the most of it. And to do whatever I can to help. And I hope I leave things behind a little bit better than I found them.
Prince Charles
It is frightening how dependent on drugs we are all becoming and how easy it is for doctors to prescribe them as the universal panacea for our ills.
Prince Charles
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
Boy, the things I do for England.
Prince Charles
Something as curious as the monarchy won't survive unless you take account of people's attitudes. After all, if people don't want it, they won't have it.
Prince Charles
If you chuck away too many things, you end up discovering there was value in them.
Prince Charles
