“Our duty to the whole, including the unborn generations, bids us to restrain an unprincipled present-day minority from wasting the heritage of these unborn generations. The movement for the conservation of wildlife and the larger movement for the conservation of all our natural resources are essentially democratic in spirit, purpose, and method.”

“Books are the legacies that a great genius leaves tomankind, which are delivered down from generation togeneration as presents to the posterity of those who are yet unborn”

“Speaking as a mother of unborn generations, I'm against it.”

“Good farmers, who take seriously their duties as stewards of Creation and of their land's inheritors, contribute to the welfare of society in more ways than society usually acknowledges, or even knows. These farmers produce valuable goods, of course; but they also conserve soil, they conserve water, they conserve wildlife, they conserve open space, they conserve scenery.”

“The conservation of natural resources is the fundamental problem. Unless we solve that problem it will avail us little to solve all others”

“There are generations yet unborn,whose very lives will be shifted and shaped by the moves you make and the actions you take.”
