“What is this you call property? It cannot be the earth. For the land is our mother, nourishing all her children, beasts, birds, fish, and all men. The woods, the streams, everything on it belongs to everybody and is for the use of all. How can one man say it belongs to him only?”

Nor all the miseries to be.

As they, that fold on fold
Up the dim valley are rolled,
Learn thou to be.”
