I always say I want to leave this world in a better state than when I arrived, and I continue to live by that message. So I'm going to do what I can to make the world a better place but also just make sure that I'm happy as well.

Jazz Jennings

I've seen definitive change in the mountains. I have concerns for the future generation. We inherit the earth from the people in front of us, and then we pass it on to the next generation. I don't think we've done a great job with our responsibility to leave the earth a better place than what we were born into.

Jeremy Jones

I think everyone should have a personal mission to leave the Earth a better place for them having lived in it and let Earth then take it from there.

I believe each life has value and that we're on this earth to leave it better than how we found it. I want people to take this to hear and to try as hard as they can to improve their capacity to do so.

Beyond work and love, I would add two other ingredients that give meaning to life. First, to fulfill whatever talents we are born with. However blessed we are by fate with different abilities and strengths, we should try to develop them to the fullest, rather than allow them to atrophy and decay. ... Second, we should try to leave the world a better place than when we entered it.

Michio Kaku

Every second counts. We are only on this earth for a short amount of time, and we get to decide how we want to use that time. And if one thinks that the purpose of life is to leave the world in just a little bit better place than we found it, it's hard to think of anyone who has contributed more than Jane Goodall.

Brett Morgen

We all have an obligation as citizens of this earth to leave the world a healthier, cleaner, and better place for our children and future generations.

Blythe Danner

Better to try all things and find all empty, than to try nothing and leave your life a blank.

Charlotte Bronte

We love our planet Earth. We should - it is our home, and there's no place like home. There can't ever be a better place than Earth.

Dimitar Sasselov

Develop a cause beyond yourself. Try to leave the world a better place because you were here.

Joe Ehrmann

I honestly believe that my best work is in front, not behind me. I am driven by a deep passion and need to make a difference and leave this world a little better than when I arrived. That's what keeps me going.

Rick Hansen

Do no harm & leave the world a better place than you found it.

Patricia Cornwell

You'd like to leave the world a better place than it was before.

Shane Douglas

Life is a journey, and one thing's for sure: You don't see many hearses with luggage racks on them. We're privileged to be here, so instead of just using God's resources, we should leave the place a little better than we found it - or at least leave it the same.
