There is no one so great as the one who does not try to accomplish anything

Unless people can become natural people, there can be neither natural farming nor natural food.

Before researchers become researches they should become philosophers.

I started natural farming after the war with just one small plot, but gradually I acquired additional acreage by taking over surrounding pieces of abandoned land and caring for them by hand.

The only sensible approach to disease and insect control, I think, is to grow sturdy crops in a healthy environment.

Of course, I have made mistakes . . . just as every grower does. However, I never really think of them as mistakes!

If we throw mother nature out the window, she comes back in the door with a pitchfork.
