"A people without children would face a hopeless future; a country without trees is almost as helpless; forests which are so used that they can not renew themselves will soon vanish, and with them all their benefits.... When you help to preserve our forests or plant new ones you are acting the part of good citizens." — Theodore Roosevelt
