The Lord grant we may all be tillers of the soil.

Let us not forget that the cultivation of the earth is the most important labor of man. When tillage begins, other arts will follow. The farmers, therefore, are the founders of civilization.

There are blessings in being close to the soil, in raising your own food even if it is only a garden in your yard and a fruit tree or two. Those families will be fortunate who, in the last days, have an adequate supply of food because of their foresight and ability to produce their own.

When tillage begins, other arts follow. The farmers, therefore, are the founders of human civilization.

Bread for myself is a material question. Bread for my neighbor is a spiritual one.

We want only loyal workers who are grateful from the bottom of their hearts for the bread which we let them earn.

The question of bread for myself is a material question, but the question of bread for my neighbor is a spiritual question.

The unproductive tillage of human cattle takes that which of right belongs to free labor, and which is necessary for the support and happiness of our own race.

It is said that man doesn't live by bread alone. Sometimes this is unfortunate, because people who cannot live by bread alone too often kill other people in consequence of the fights they get into.

Believe me, nobody likes to loaf more than me.
