Conservation viewed in its entirety, is the slow and laborious unfolding of a new relationship between people and land.

Do we realize that industry, which has been our good servant, might make a poor master?

The modern dogma is comfort at any cost.

Conservation will ultimately boil down to rewarding the private landowner who conserves the public interest.
