Animals Quotes The difference between animals and humans is that animals change themselves for the environment, but humans change the environment for themselves.
We did not think of the great open plains, the beautiful rolling hills, and winding streams with tangled growth, as "wild." Only to the white man was nature a "wilderness" and only to him was the land "infested" with "wild" animals and "savage" people. To us it was tame. Earth was bountiful and we were surrounded with the blessings of the Great Mystery.

To do so intensifies human futility, so whatever comes we should adjust ourselves by more effort and energy if necessary, but without complaint.
