“Unkindness to anything means an injustice to that thing. If I am unkind to you I do you an injustice, or wrong you in some way. On the other hand, if I try to assist you in every way that I can to make a better citizen and in every way to do my very best for you, I am kind to you. The above principles apply with equal force to the soil. The farmer whose soil produces less every year, is unkind to it in some way; that is, he is not doing by it what he should; he is robbing it of some substance it must have, and he becomes, therefore, a soil robber rather than a progressive farmer.” IfsWayShouldTryingYearsKindMeanI CanHandsForcePrinciplesLandProduceCitizensEqualInjusticeSubstanceSoilProgressiveFarmersUnkindRobbersRobbingUnkindness Author:George Washington Carver

We may be forced to change our profligate ways some day, when the soil is depleted, the aquifers drained, the icecaps melted, and all the oil wells pumped dry. But the crisis will wait another fifty years or so; we'll leave those problems to a generation yet unborn.” WayWantNeedsYearsWellsMaySoulProblemForceWaitingGrowthGenerationsEconomicDependsCitizensEqualCapitalismCrisisConstantWestEnvironmentalOilDrySoilFiftySustainabilityDogmaFabricExpandingUnbornPrevailingDrainedNeeds And WantsSoul ForceAquifers Author:Philip Yancey
