Farming Quotes

One hears a lot about the rules of good husbandry; there is only one-leave the land far better than you found it.
George Henderson

Wherever there are in any country uncultivated lands and unemployed poor, it is clear that the laws of property have been extended as to violate natural rights. The earth is given as a common stock for man to labor and live on.
Thomas Jefferson

Whoever could make two ears of corn, or two blades of grass to grow upon a spot of ground where only one grew before, would deserve better of mankind, and do more essential service to his country, than the whole race of politicians put together.
Jonathan Swift

To own a bit of ground, to scratch it with a hoe, to plant seeds, and watch their renewal of life-this is the commonest delight of the race, the most satisfactory thing a man can do.
Charles Dudley Warner

A good farmer is nothing more nor less than a handy man with a sense of humas.
E. B. White
