"A Nation that destroys its soils destroys itself. Forests are the lungs of our land, purifying the air and giving fresh strength to our people." - Franklin D. Roosevelt
"Every one is fond of comparing himself to something great and grandiose, as Louis XIV likened himself to the sun and others have had like similes. I am more humble. I am a mere street scavenger, ( chiffoinier ) of science. With my hook in my hand and my basket on my back, I go about the streets of science, collecting what I find." - Francois Magendie
