But by far, the greatest thing that He provided us with was the freedom to use the provisions in whatever manner we might choose. And the greatest skill that He granted us was the wisdom to use them wisely. Therefore, if we have abused the freedom and abandoned the wisdom we will destroy a million trees and turn quarries of marble to powder. And at that point, we will have nothing to build with and everything to grieve for.”
