Joseph Addison
This is Preservation Month. I appreciate preservation. It's what you do when you run for president. You've got to preserve.
George W. Bush
The tendency of life is not the preservation of the species, but solely the preservation of each individual organism, as long as it is in existence at all, and is able to carry on its life processes.
Boris Sidis
