To those whom the tree, the birds, the wildflowers represent only "locked-up dollars" have never known or really seen these things.

The long fight to save wild beauty represents democracy at its best. It requires citizens to practice the hardest of virtues--self-restraint. Why cannot I take as many trout as I want from a stream? Why cannot I bring home from the woods a rare wildflower? Because if I do, everybody in this democracy should be able to do the same. My act will be multiplied endlessly. To provide protection for wildlife and wild beauty, everyone has to deny himself proportionately. Special privilege and conservation are ever at odds.

Those who wish to pet and baby wild animals 'love' them. But those who respect their natures and wish to let them live normal lives, love them more.

Reduce the complexity of life by eliminating the needless wants of life, and the labors of life reduce themselves.

It is morally as bad not to care whether anything is true or not.
