(G.K. Chesterton)
The men who really believe in themselves are all in lunatic asylums.

Deal with life the way it is, not the way you wish it could be.

Many will be shocked to find when the day of judgment nears that there's a special place in heaven set aside for volunteers. Furnished with big recliners, Satin Couches, and footstools where there's no committee chairman no group leaders or car pools. No eager team that needs a coach no bazaar and no bake sale. There will be nothing to fold or mail. Telephone lists will be outlawed. But a finger snap will bring cool drinks and gourmet dinners and treats fit for a king. You ask, ?Who'll serve these privileged few and work for all they're worth?' Why, all those who reaped the benefits and not once volunteered on Earth. Volunteers, God Bless Them,

Greenways can draw people together in their communities to provide open spaces for all close to their own homes. They have the potential to be this country's most important land-based effort for conservation and recreation in the next several decades. They can draw private and local entities into lead roles in provision of recreation opportunities. They can capitalize on the entrepreneurial spirit of Americans and give pride of accomplishment and responsibility to millions of people in every community. They can protect vital water, fish, wildlife, and recreation resources as integral parts of the growth of cities and communities. And, if greenways truly capture the imagination and boldness of the American spirit, they could eventually form the corridors that connect open spaces, parks, forests, and deserts.
