this is my first quote:

We do not inherit the earth from our ancestor, we borrow it from our children.... Native American proverb

verb) inherit : mewarisi
noun) ancestor : predecessor; nenek moyang

moral : if we borrow something, we have to return it due time. the thing we borrow should be returned as its first condition when we borrow it. our earth doesn't belong to us but it belongs to our children so instead of polluting, destroying it , we need to take care of it....for future generation
