“The ant philosophy: Never give up. Look ahead. Stay positive. And do all you can.” — Unknown

“All good work is done the way ants do things: Little by little.” Ants are good citizens: They place group interests first.” — Unknown

“It would seem that the ant works its way tentatively, and, observing where it fails, tries another place and succeeds.” — Unknown

“If all humans disappeared today, the earth would start improving tomorrow. If all the ants disappeared today, the earth would start dying tomorrow.” — Unknown
