Halford E. Luccock


Many years ago Rudyard Kipling gave an address at McGill University in Montreal. He said one striking thing which deserves to be remembered. Warning the students against an over-concern for money, or position, or glory, he said: "Some day you will meet a man who cares for none of these things. Then you will know how poor you are."

Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Aldo Leopold

Ralph Waldo Emerson
