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.

It is now 14 years since I first suggested that organic farming might have some benefits and ought to be taken seriously.

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

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
Image
If you chuck away too many things, you end up discovering there was value in them.
Prince Charles
Image
I sometimes wonder if two thirds of the globe is covered in red carpet.
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

I learned the way a monkey learns - by watching its parents.

Your greatest achievement is to love me.
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.

When people are uncertain about what is right and what is wrong, and anxious about being considered old-fashioned, it seems to be worse than folly that Christians are still arguing about doctrinal matters which can only bring needless distress to a number of people.
