“Agriculture not only gives riches to a nation, but the only riches she can call her own”
Samuel Johnson
“THE POOR AND THE SUBJECT CALLED "POVERTY" IS FILTH TO THE RICH AND THE SUBJECT CALLED "RICHES", BUT CLEANLINESS IS THE ONLY MARK OF ACCEPTANCE.”
“Wait a minute! I'm not interested in agriculture. I want the military stuff. [During a briefing military stuff in which officials began telling him about missile silos]”
William Scott
“There seem to be but three ways for a nation to acquire wealth. The first is by war, as the Romans did, in plundering their conquered neighbors. This is robbery. The second by commerce, which is generally cheating. The third by agriculture, the only honest way, wherein man receives a real increase of the seed thrown into the ground, in a kind of continual miracle, wrought by the hand of God in his favor, as a reward for his innocent life and his virtuous industry.”
Benjamin Franklin
“have been pushed into a sort of agricultural siding by some very aggressive agricultural producing countries whose interests do not necessarily coincide with the bulk of developing countries.”
Peter Mandelson
“Some of the most-producing farmland is being changed over from agricultural to residential. We're not always using the land the best way.”
David Keuhl
“do something which has not happened for decades, since the Dust Bowl. You need to lead agricultural policy, not follow Congress. And we in Maine will stand behind you.”
William Bell
