Baron Thurlow | The forest is to me the sweetest college...
wisdom doth here in all its branches grow. |
| Ray Lyman WilburUS Interior secretary, 1931 | One hundred years from now, as people look back on our use of this continent, we shall not be praised for our reckless use of its oil, nor the loss of our forests; we shall be mightily damned for all these things. But we may take comfort in the knowledge that we shall certainly be thanked for the national parks. |
