"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 heartily damned for all these things.
But we may take comfort in the knowledge that we
shall certainly be thanked for the national parks."

~Secretary of the Interior Ray Lyman Wilbur, 1931

QuickQuote - November 18, 2010

"I've worked on it for years because it was a problem I wanted to solve. Peter, before you can do things for people, you must be the kind of man who can get things done. But to get things done, you must love the doing, not the consequences. Your own action. Not any possible object of your charity."
-Ayn Rand's The Fountainhead (via audio CD)
