– “If the cards are stacked against you, reshuffle the deck.” – John D. MacDonald, author.
– “…the well-being of [Florida] is measured by the well-being of the average man.” – Gov. Doyle Carlton
– “The present was an egg laid by the past that had the future inside its shell.” – Zora Neale Hurston, author.
– “There are no other Everglades in the world. They are, they have always been, one of the unique regions of the earth; remote, never wholly known. Nothing anywhere else is like them.” – Marjory Stoneman Douglas, environmentalist.
