Who said “In wildness is the preservation of the world.”?

“What would the world be, once bereft of wet and wildness? Let them be left. O let them be left, wildness and wet; Long live the weeds and the wilderness yet.”

“There is in every American, I think, something of the old Daniel Boone -- who, when he could see the smoke from another chimney, felt himself too crowded and moved further out into the wilderness.”

“Wildness and silence disappeared from the countryside, sweetness fell from the air, not because anyone wished them to vanish or fall but because throughways had to floor the meadows with cement to carry the automobiles which advancing technology produced. Tropical beaches turned into high-priced slums where thousand-room hotels elbowed each other for glimpses of once-famous surf not because those who loved the beaches wanted them there but because enormous jets could bring a million tourists every year -- and therefore did.”

“The sun is but a morning star.”

“That government is best which governs least.”

“The savage in man is never quite eradicated.”

“The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation.”

“What is called resignation is confirmed desperation.”

“Any fool can make a rule, and every fool will mind it.”
