Image
The whole imposing edifice of modern medicine is like the celebrated tower of Pisa - slightly off balance.
Prince Charles
Image
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.
Prince Charles
Image
This was one of those special occasions when I could actually feel the inner appreciation of the beauty of the moment passing like an electric current through the brush in my hand.
Prince Charles
Image
We don't, in a sensible world, want to hand on an increasingly dysfunctional world to our grandchildren.
Prince Charles
Image
I think it's something that dawns on you with the most ghastly, inexorable sense. I didn't suddenly wake up in my pram one day and say 'Yippee, I - ', you know. But I think it just dawns on you, you know, slowly, that people are interested in one, and slowly you get the idea that you have a certain duty and responsibility.

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
. . . 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
One of the main reasons for the conflict in Syria, and the terrorism that it's spawned, is climate change and drought.
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
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

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

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.
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
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.

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

I think we need to recover the depth, the subtlety, the generosity of imagination, the respect for wisdom that so marked Islam in its great ages.
Prince Charles
Image
Organic farming has been shown to provide major benefits for wildlife and the wider environment. The best that can be said about genetically engineered crops is that they will now be monitored to see how much damage they cause.
Prince Charles
Image
The price of apparently cheap food is costing nothing less than the Earth!
Prince Charles
Image
The less people know about what is really going on, the easier it is to wield power and authority.
Prince Charles

We have spent the best part of the past century enthusiastically testing the world to utter destruction not looking closely enough at the long-term impact our actions will have.
