Quote Critique

If you want to raise a crop for one year, plant corn.  If you want to raise a crop for decades, plant trees.  If you want to raise a crop for centuries, raise men.  If you want to plant a crop for eternities, raise democracies.

– Carl A. Schenck (German forester, 1868-1955)

I’m a meat eater, so I’ll let somebody else analyze this one.
