We are wasting our water mostly by putting waste into it. One cubic meter of wastewater can pollute ten cubic meters of water. Discharging wastewater into oceans turns freshwater into the less useful salty stuff, and desalination is expensive.

Rose George

If all the stars and galaxies in the universe today were smoothed out into a uniform sea of atoms, there would only be about one atom in every cubic meter of space.

John D. Barrow

Every cubic inch of space is a miracle.

Walt Whitman

Let’s hope the institution of marriage survives its detractors, for without it there would be no more adultery and without adultery two thirds of our novelists would stand in line for unemployment checks.

Peter S. Prescott

To me, every hour of the light and dark is a miracle, every inch of space is a miracle, every square yard of the surface of the earth is spread with the same, every cubic foot of the interior swarms with the same; every spear of grass-the frames, limbs, organs, of men and women, and all that concerns them, all these to me are unspeakably perfect miracles.

Walt Whitman

There is enough energy in a single cubic meter of space to boil all the oceans in the world.

Richard P. Feynman

Passion is the evil in adultery. If a man has no opportunity of living with another man's wife, but if it is obvious for some reason that he would like to do so, and would do so if he could, he is no less guilty than if he was caught in the act.

Saint Augustine

You see, if the height of the mercury [barometer] column is less on the top of a mountain than at the foot of it (as I have many reasons for believing, although everyone who has so far written about it is of the contrary opinion), it follows that the weight of the air must be the sole cause of the phenomenon, and not that abhorrence of a vacuum, since it is obvious that at the foot of the mountain there is more air to have weight than at the summit, and we cannot possibly say that the air at the foot of the mountain has a greater aversion to empty space than at the top.

Blaise Pascal

Find joy and solace in the simple, and cultivate your utopia by feeling the Tao in every cubic inch of space.

Wayne Dyer

When all is said, its atmosphere [England's] still contains fewer germs of aggression and brutality per cubic foot in a crowded bus, pub or queue than in any other country in which I have lived

Arthur Koestler

A space in Paradise equivalent to the size of a foot would be better than the world and what is in it.

Muhammad

Mozilla has one foot in the Valley, Silicon Valley product technology, and partly one foot in the social enterprise space.

Mitchell Baker

I did commit adultery, if adultery is having a relationship in a marriage with another woman. I learned from that.

Steve Garvey

To me, every hour of the light and dark is a miracle. Every cubic inch of space is a miracle.

Walt Whitman

I realized there was very little in Hollywood I would ever feel comfortable doing. If I kept one foot there and one foot in my Christianity, I would never grow.
