"Any fool can destroy trees.…They cannot run away."
~John Muir
In case you were curious here's the full quote;
“Any fool can destroy trees. They cannot run away; and if they could,
they would still be destroyed -- chased and hunted down as long as fun
or a dollar could be got out of their bark hides, branching horns, or
magnificent bole backbones. Few that fell trees plant them; nor would
planting avail much towards getting back anything like the noble
primeval forests ... It took more than three thousand years to make some
of the trees in these Western woods -- trees that are still standing in
perfect strength and beauty, waving and singing ...”
