Nick Ronning has provided a list of quatations that
have meaning to the Associations goals.
Quotations
of value to the Friends of the Lake Wakanda
Chain
To be deeply
rooted in a place that has
meaning is perhaps the best gift a child can have. If that place has
beauty and
a feeling of permanence, it may suggest to him unawares a sense of
identity
with this physical earth which is the humblest and happiest of life’s
institutions - John
Mistletoe
A thing is right
when it tends to preserve
the integrity, stability, and beauty of the biotic community. It is
wrong when
it tends otherwise. - Aldo
Leopold
The wildlife and
its habitat cannot speak.
So we must and we will. - Theodore
Roosevelt
Artificialized
management has, in effect,
bought fishing at the expense of another and perhaps higher recreation;
it has
paid dividends to one citizen out of capital stock belonging to all. - Aldo Leopold
The great battle
for preservation and
conservation cannot be won by gentle tones . . . It is necessary to
sound a
loud alarm, to present the facts in very strong language, backed up by
irrefutable statistics and by photographs which tell no lies . . . - Henry
Fairfield Osborn
The recreational
value of game is inverse
to the artificiality of its origin. - Aldo
Leopold, Game Management, 1933
Unless we
practice conservation, those who
come after us will have to pay the price of misery, degradation, and
failure
for the progress and prosperity of our day.
- Gifford
Pinchot
The earth is not
something we inherit from
our parents. It is something borrowed from our children.
- paraphrase,
author unknown
We will be
judged by our offspring and in
that judgment if all they can contemplate is muddy and polluted rivers,
eroded
hillsides, burned forestlands and wildlife behind glass, stuffed, then
they
will have a right to ponder just what type of improvident barbarians
sired
them. - Ernest Swift
