Monday morning quotes

As part of my final lecture prep I am running into some great quotes for class:

"The care of the Earth is our most ancient and most worthy,
and after all our most pleasing responsibility.
To cherish what remains of it and to foster its renewal is our only hope."
- Wendell Berry

The concept of public welfare is broad and inclusive... The values it represents are spiritual as well as physical, aesthetic as well as monetary. It is within the power of the legislature to determine that the community should be beautiful as well as healthy, spacious as well as clean.
-- William O. Douglas (U.S. Supreme Court Justice)

Look and you will find it - what is unsought will go undetected.
- Sophocles
