One of my absolute favorites is Aldo Leupold

“Ethical behavior is doing the right thing when no one else is watching- even when doing the wrong thing is legal.”

“To those devoid of imagination, a blank place on the map is a useless waste; to others, the most valuable part.”

“Acts of creation are ordinarily reserved for gods and poets, but humbler folk may circumvent this restriction if they know how. To plant a pine, for example, one need be neither god nor poet; one need only own a shovel. By virtue of this curious loophole in the rules, any clodhopper may say: Let there be a tree - and there will be one.”

We reached the old wolf in time to watch a fierce green fire dying in her eyes. I realized then, and have known ever since, that there was something new to me in those eyes - something known only to her and to the mountain. I was young then, and full of trigger-itch; I thought that because fewer wolves meant more deer, that no wolves would mean hunters' paradise. But after seeing the green fire die, I sensed that neither the wolf nor the mountain agreed with such a view.…

“Only the most uncritical minds are free from doubt.”

"Breaking someone's trust is like crumpling up a perfect piece of paper. You can smooth it over, but it's never going to be the same again".

"Indeed the safest road to [destruction] is the gradual one - the gentle slope, soft underfoot, without sudden turnings, without milestones, without signposts..."

"Socialism - You have two cows. Give one to your neighbor.
Communism - You have two cows. The government takes both of them and promises you milk.
Facism - You have two cows. The government takes both and sells you milk.
Nazism - You have two cows. The government takes both and shoots you.
Bureaucracy - You have two cows. The government takes both, shoots one, milks the other, and pours the milk down the drain.
Capitalism - You have two cows. Sell one and buy a bull."

If we're going to use facts, that's fine. If we're going to use opinions, we'll use mine.
