A Quote by Rohini Nilekani

Water is ultimately a finite resource. With all finite resources, there is a continuous need for sustainable and equitable management, by capping demand, improving efficiencies in supply and developing substitutes. This exercise is complicated by the sociocultural beliefs, values and affinities around this precious resource.

Water is a finite resource that is essential in the advancement of agriculture, and is vital to human life.

Jim Costa

Because fossil fuels are not only a finite resource but hazardous to the environment, it is imperative that we diversify the resources used in generating electricity.

Pete Gallego

Spiraling demand for resources of which our world contains a finite supply is the great long-term threat posed by globalisation. That is why we need new technology to relieve it.

Peter Thiel

Unilever, Nestle and SAB Miller are all taking a long-term approach to investing in sustainable resource consumption. Each is driving through better resource management, which is expected to yield positive returns in the future.

Jacob Rothschild

Time is a finite resource.

Rumaan Alam

The past is a finite resource.

Douglas Coupland

When resources are degraded, we start competing for them, whether it is at the local level in Kenya, where we had tribal clashes over land and water, or at the global level, where we are fighting over water, oil, and minerals. So one way to promote peace is to promote sustainable management and equitable distribution of resources.

Wangari Maathai

Courage is a finite resource, it is exhausted by the terrors we face.

Derrick Bell

Paradoxically, resource-rich developing countries are often worse off than comparable countries that lack those resources. One reason for this is that large resource endowments provide a huge financial incentive for attempts to overthrow the government and seize power.

Dirty energy is a finite resource; the more of it we use, the scarcer it becomes.

Water is our most precious resource, but we waste it, just as we waste other resources, including oil and gas.

David Suzuki

Land is becoming a diminishing resource for agriculture, in spite of a growing understanding that the future of food security will depend upon the sustainable management of land resources as well as the conservation of prime farmland for agriculture.

M. S. Swaminathan

Time is a resource whose supply is inversely proportional to its demand.

Craig Bruce

Dedicate yourself to continuous personal improvement you are your most precious resource

Brian Tracy

What I assert and believe to have demonstrated in this and earlier works is that following the finite there is a transfinite (which one could also call the supra-finite), that is an unbounded ascending lader of definite modes, which by their nature are not finite but infinite, but which just like the finite can be determined by well-defined and distinguishable numbers.

Georg Cantor
