Father told me that if I ever met a lady in a dress like yours, I must look her straight in the eyes. – Prince Charles
As human beings we suffer from an innate tendency to jump to conclusions; to judge people too quickly and to pronounce them failures or heroes without due consideration of the actual facts and ideals of the period. – Prince Charles
Conflict, of course, comes about because of the misuse of power and the clash of ideals, not to mention the inflammatory activities of unscrupulous and bigoted leaders. But it also arises, tragically, from an inability to understand and from the powerful emotions which, out of misunderstanding, lead to distrust and fear. – Prince Charles
The demand for organic food is growing at a remarkable rate. Consumers have made it clear that they want organic produce and every sector of the food chain is responding, with the kind of results we have just seen. – Prince Charles
It’s always nice to have somebody on your side. – Prince Charles
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. – Prince Charles
I find myself born into this particular position. I’m determined to make the most of it. And to do whatever I can to help. And I hope I leave things behind a little bit better than I found them. – Prince Charles
There are now more TV’s in British households than there are people – which is a bit of a worry. – Prince Charles
Your greatest achievement is to love me. – Prince Charles
All my life, people have been telling me what to do. I’m tired of it. My private life has become an industry. – Prince Charles
Grandparenthood is a unique moment in anyone’s life, as countless kind people have told me in recent months, so I am enormously proud and happy to be a grandfather for the first time and we are eagerly looking forward to seeing the baby in the near future. – Prince Charles
It’s always marvelous to have somebody who, you know, you feel understands and wants to encourage. Although she certainly pokes fun if I get too serious about things. And all that helps. – Prince Charles
Conservation must become before recreation. – Prince Charles
The less people know about what is really going on, the easier it is to wield power and authority. – Prince Charles
The whole of nature cries out at our mistreatment of her. If the planet were a patient, we would have treated her long ago. – Prince Charles
We can’t go on like this, with every month another record in temperatures being broken, if we leave it too long, and we have done, just growing things is going to become difficult. – Prince Charles
We need to be realistic. There is very little we can do now to stop the ice from disappearing from the North Pole in the summer. And we probably cannot prevent the melting of the permafrost and the resulting release of methane. In addition, I fear that we may be too late to help the oceans maintain their ability to absorb carbon dioxide. – Prince Charles
Forests … are in fact the world’s air-conditioning system-the very lungs of the planet-and help to store the largest body of freshwater on the planet … essential to produce food for our planet’s growing population. The rainforests of the world also provide the livelihoods of more than a billion of the poorest people on this Earth… In simple terms, the rainforests, which encircle the world, are our very life-support system-and we are on the verge of switching it off. – Prince Charles
We can halt the destruction of the world’s rainforests – and even restore parts of them – in order to ensure that the forests do what they are so good at – in other words, storing carbon naturally. – Prince Charles
Humility is to make a right estimate of one’s self. It is no humility for a man to think less of himself than he ought, though it might rather puzzle him to do that. – Prince Charles
We might be more inclined to think about the longer term if we were more aware of what is happening around us. Perhaps daily weather forecasts could include a few basic facts about the Earth’s vital signs or details of where climate change is increasing the likelihood of damaging weather? – Prince Charles
I sometimes wonder if two thirds of the globe is covered in red carpet. – Prince Charles
On an increasingly crowded planet, humanity faces many threats – but none is greater than climate change. It magnifies every hazard and tension of our existence. – Prince Charles
Do you seriously expect me to be the first Prince of Wales in history not to have a mistress? – Prince Charles
The price of apparently cheap food is costing nothing less than the Earth! – Prince Charles
All the time I feel I must justify my existence. – Prince Charles
A large number of us have developed a feeling that architects tend to design houses for the approval of fellow architects and critics, not for the tenants. – Prince Charles
Be neither too remote nor too familiar. – Prince Charles
I learned the way a monkey learns – by watching its parents. – Prince Charles
We are not the technology. It should be our – you know, our slave, the technology. But it’s rapidly becoming our master in many areas, I think. – Prince Charles
If you think about the impact of climate change, [it should be how] a doctor would deal with the problem. A scientific hypothesis is tested to absolute destruction, but medicine can’t wait. If a doctor sees a child with a fever, he can’t wait for [endless] tests. He has to act on what is there. The risk of delay is so enormous that we can’t wait until we are absolutely sure the patient is dying. – Prince Charles
To get the best results you must talk to your vegetables. – Prince Charles
It is baffling, I must say, that in our modern world we have such blind trust in science and technology that we all accept what science tells us about everything – until, that is, it comes to climate science. – Prince Charles
Christianity was literally born in the Middle East, and we must not forget our Middle Eastern brothers and sisters in Christ. – Prince Charles
There’s nothing like a jolly good disaster to get people to start doing something. – Prince Charles
