“We have a right to expect that the best trained, the best educated men on the Pacific slope, the Rocky Mountains, and great plains States will take the lead in the preservation and right use of forests, in securing the right use of waters, and in seeing that our land policy is not twisted from its original purpose, but is perpetuated by amendment, by change when such change is necessary in the life of that purpose, the purpose being to turn the public domain into farms each to be the property of the man who actually tills it and makes his home in it.” MenStatesUseHomePurposeTurnsWaterSeeingLandPolicyHe ManMountainOriginalsPropertyForestsEducatedFarmsAmendmentsPreservationDomainTwistedDinosaursPacificSlopesLead InEducated ManPublic DomainRocky MountainUses Of Water Author:Theodore Roosevelt
“Breathes there a man with soul so dead that it does not glow at the thought of what the men of his blood have done and suffered to make his country what it is? There is room, plenty of room, for proper pride of land and birth. What I inveigh against is a cursed spirit of intolerance, conceived in distrust and bred in ignorance, that makes the mental attitude perennially antagonistic, even bitterly antagonistic, to everything foreign, that subordinates everywhere the race to the nation, forgetting the higher claims of human brotherhood.” MenHumansDoeSoulCountryDoneSpiritNationsForgetRoomsRaceAttitudeBloodLandIgnoranceHe ManPrideBirthHigherClaimsBreathePlentyPatriotismBrotherhoodIntoleranceDistrustCursedSubordinatesMental Attitude Book:Aequanimitas, and Other Papers that Have Stood the Test of Time.

“The American Colossus was fiercely intent on appropriating and exploiting the riches of all continents - grasping with both hands, reaping where he had not sown, wasting what he thought would last forever. New railroads were opening new territory. The exploiters were pushing farther and farther into the wilderness. The man who could get his hands on the biggest slice of natural resources was the best citizen. Wealth and virtue were supposed to trot in double harness.” MenHandsLastsNaturalWealthForeverVirtueLandHe ManCitizensResourcesRichesOpeningPushingWildernessTerritoryContinentsNatural ResourcesRailroadsGraspingHarnessNew TerritoryColossus Book:Breaking New Ground Source: Breaking New Ground
“Columbus was an Abraham, for he went out not knowing whither he went. Columbus was a Moses, for he endured as seeing Him who is invisible. Only the man of faith is the man of power. Only he who can see the invisible can do the impossible. God grant that to-day in that bark we may be wafted by God's blessing, and may land at last on the shores of Heaven, where we shall sing a sweeter Te Deum than that which awoke the echoes on the soil of virgin America, or those amid the splendors of the court at Barcelona.” MenMayLastsAmericaHeavenCan DoKnowingImpossibleSeeingLandHe ManBlessingCourtInvisibleSoilGrantsShoreNot KnowingEchoesVirginsMosesAbrahamSplendorBarkColumbusBarcelona Author:Robert Stuart MacArthur
“For what you call the Law is but a club of the rich over the lowest of men, sanctifying the conquest of the earth by a few and making their theft the way of things. But over and above these pitiful statutes of yours that enclose the common land and reduce us to poverty to make you fat stands the Law of Creation, which renders judgement on rich and poor alike, making them one.

“Men are tending to materialism. Houses, lands, and worldly goods attract their attention, and as a mirage lure them on to death. Christianity, on the other hand leads only the natural body to death, and for the spirit, it points out a house not built with hands, eternal in the heavens... Let me urge you to follow Him, not as the Nazarene, the Man of Galilee, the carpenter's son, but as the ever living spiritual person, full of love and compassion, who will stand by you in life and death and eternity.” MenPersonsBodyHandsSpiritualSpiritHouseHeavenNaturalAttentionCompassionChristianityLandHe ManSonEternalBuiltLet MeEternityLife And DeathUrgesMaterialismGoodsWorldlyLureLove And CompassionCarpenterMiragesNazarene Author:James A.
