The greening of the desert means sowing seeds in people's hearts and creating a green paradise of peace on earth.

The healing of the land and the purification of the human spirit is the same process.

The ultimate goal of farming is not the growing of crops, but the cultivation and perfection of human beings.

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!

We must find our way back to true nature. We must set ourselves to the task of revitalizing the earth. Regreening the earth, sowing seeds in the desert--that is the path society must follow.

When it is understood that one loses joy and happiness in the attempt to possess them, the essence of natural farming will be realized. The ultimate goal of farming is not the growing of crops, but the cultivation and perfection of human beings.
