Land ethic quotes

The 'key-log' which must be moved to release the evolutionary process for an ethic is simply this: quit thinking about decent land-use as solely an economic problem. Examine each question in terms of what is ethically and esthetically right, as well as what is economically expedient.

-- Land ethic

And then he feels that perhaps there isn't.

Far better to be one who knows that if you reserve the power not to use all your power, you will lead others far more successfully and well.

Language is the key to the heart of people.
