The seventh principle of the Unitarian Universalist Association is "Respect for the interdependent web of all existence of which we are a part."

"In the woods, we return to reason and faith. (...) Standing on the bare ground, -- my head bathed by the blithe air, and uplifted into infinite space, -- all mean egotism vanishes."
