Aldo Leopold, "A Sand County Almanac"

Conservation is getting nowhere because it is incompatible with our Abrahamic concept of land. We abuse land because we regard it as a commodity belonging to us. When we see land as a community to which we belong, we may begin to use it with love and respect.

Abraham Lincoln, 1861

Labor is prior to, and independent of, capital. Capital is only the fruit of labor, and could never have existed if labor had not first existed. Labor is the superior of capital, and deserves much the higher consideration.

Ken Boulding

Anyone who believes that exponential growth can go on forever in a finite world is either a madman or an economist.

Ayn Rand, "The Fountainhead"

Now observe the results of a society built on the principle of individualism. This, our country. The noblest country in the history of men. The country of greatest achievement, greatest prosperity, greatest freedom.

Jose (Pepe) Mujica

Pertenezco a una generación que quiso cambiar el mundo, fui aplastado, derrotado, pulverizado, pero sigo soñando que vale la pena luchar para que la gente pueda vivir un poco major y con un mayor sentido de igualdad.

(I belong to a generation that wanted to change the world, I was crushed, defeated, pulverized, but I keep on dreaming that it is worth the effort to fight so that the people can live a little better and with a greater sense of equality.)

Yogi Berra

It ain't over 'til it's over

(It was over for Yogi Berra when he died on September 22, 2015.)

Ayn Rand, "The Fountainhead"

The 'common good' of a collective - a race, a class, a state - was the claim and justification of every tyranny ever established over men.
