“The continued existence of wildlife and wilderness is important to the quality of life of humans”
“We and the beasts are kin”
“Leave this world a little better than you found it”
“The purpose of conservation: The greatest good to the greatest number of people for the longest time”
“Study nature, love nature, stay close to nature. It will never fail you”
“Conservation is a state of harmony between men and land”
“...conservation of land and conservation of people frequently go hand in hand”
“Try to leave this world a little better than you found it and, when your turn comes to die, you can die happy in feeling that at any rate you have not wasted your time but have done your best”
“There can be no greater issue than that of conservation in this country”
“Like the resource it seeks to protect, wildlife conservation must be dynamic, changing as conditions change, seeking always to become more effective”
“A true conservationist is a man who knows that the world is not given by his fathers, but borrowed from his children”
