(Aldo Leopold)
Sometimes I wonder if men and women really suit each other. Perhaps they should live next door and just visit now and then.
(Katharine Hepburn)
Mechanized recreation already has seized nine-tenths of the woods and mountains; a decent respect for minorities should dedicate the other tenth to wilderness.
(Aldo Leopold)
I feel the great thing in this world is not so much where we stand as in what direction we are moving.
(Oliver Wendell Holmes)
Do not think of your faults, still less of others' faults; look for what is good and strong, and try to imitate it.
(John Ruskin)
Your goal, as a creative investor, is to launch your ship into financial orbit ... and then put it on automatic pilot.
(Robert G. Allen)
Life is eating us up. We all shall be fables presently. Keep cool: it will be all one a hundred years hence.
(Ralph Waldo Emerson)
I teach at Harvard that the world and the heavens, and the stars are all real, but not so damned real, you see.
(Josiah Royce)
I find in this a note of optimism for our sometimes gloomy world. With pollution and overpopulation spawning a sprawling urban desert, I am encouraged by the knowledge that there are millions in America who care about wilderness and mountains; who go forth for strength to Mother Earth; who defend her domain and seek her secrets. I am proud to have played a role in the birth of the Appalachian Trail. And I am proud of the generations of hikers who have made my dream become a reality.
