Franklin Roosevelt actually said...

"We have to think not just of an annual crop, not just something that we can eat the next year."

"We in the next few years, when peace comes, will be able to devote more thought to making our country more useful—every acre of it."

"It doesn't amount to very much, this cost of planting trees, and yet the hillsides of West Virginia of our grandparents' day were much more wonderful than they are now."

"This generation, and especially the previous generation, have been thinking of themselves and not of the future."
