"The things which men have made... are inevitably
the best witness. They cannot lie, and what they say is of supreme importance. For they speak of man's soul and they show
who are his gods... Eric Gill

"Mention also must be made of those who, sometimes, against their wishes,
I suspect, have kept aloof from the tendency toward modernity; who cook at old fashioned fires, old fashioned dishes and spread
them upon old fashioned tables; who, mow with old fashioned scythe snaths and cart hay on old fashioned ox carts into old
fashioned barns; who wear old fashioned clothes in old fashioned kitchens and eat apples grown on old fashioned trees."
--Charles D. Hubbard

"Loose ended souls, whose skills bring scanty gold, and whom the poor
house catches when they're old; rude country minstrels, men who doctor kine, or graft, and out of scions ten, save nine;
creatures of genius they, but never meant to keep step with the civic regiment." -- Lowell
Their is no weath but life. Life, including all its powers of love,
of joy, and of admiration. That country is richest which nourishes the greatest number of noble and happy human beings...
