Great quote by him: Someday, after mastering the winds, the waves, the tides and gravity, we shall harness for God the energies of love, and then, for a second time in the history of the world, man will have discovered fire. Pierre Teilhard De Chardin

As a former geology prof, when I sat down my first day at my new job as a chaplain, looked up and saw a plaque with a Chardin quote on it, I suddenly felt at home — almost 5 years later, still at that hospital & though I changed desks, I moved the plaque with me :)
