“We of an older generation can get along with what we have, though with growing hardship; but in your full manhood and womanhood you will want what nature once so bountifully supplied and man so thoughtlessly destroyed; and because of that want you will reproach us, not for what we have used, but for what we have wasted...So any nation which in its youth lives only for the day, reaps without sowing, and consumes without husbanding, must expect the penalty of the prodigal whose labor could with difficulty find him the bare means of life.” MenWantMeanUsedNationsGrowingGenerationsYouthLaborDifficultyDestroyedHardshipPenaltiesWomanhoodManhoodReapDinosaursReproachSowingProdigalsNature ConservationOlder GenerationArbor DayYouth Life Book:Theodore Roosevelt Cyclopedia Source: Theodore Roosevelt Cyclopedia
