• Elect me to office. I will protect and defend the U.S. Constitution. Because there's no constitutional authority for Congress spending on the objects of benevolence, don't expect for me to vote for prescription drugs for the elderly, handouts to farmers and food stamps for the poor.

• It is only necessary that man should start a fence that Nature should carry it on and complete it. The farmer cannot plow quite up to the rails or wall which he himself has placed, and hence it often becomes a hedgerow and sometimes a coppice.

• [El último paso para convertirse en agricultor urbano es dar nombre a la granja, aunque sólo sea para las macetas del porche. Crear un nombre ayuda a crear un sentido de pertenencia al vecindario y a sentirse orgulloso de los logros alcanzados. Al ponerle nombre a tu granja le das vida propia. Sé creativo e inventa un nombre que inspire y haga sonreír a la gente, como "Wish We Had Acres" de mi amiga Laura, "Jack's Bean Stalk", inspirado en un cuento de hadas, o mi "Urban Farm".

Nos define como pueblo, incluso cuando aumentamos su significado con cada nuevo capítulo de nuestra experiencia nacional y nuestras acciones individuales.

Necesitamos constructores que pongan los cimientos de una era de energía limpia. Necesitamos diplomáticos, hombres y mujeres de negocios y voluntarios de los Cuerpos de Paz que ayuden a los países en desarrollo a superar la fase sucia del desarrollo y pasar a fuentes de energía sostenibles.

• Some kids have never seen what a real tomato looks like off the vine. They don't know where a cucumber comes from. And that really affects the way they view food. So a garden helps them really get their hands dirty, literally, and understand the whole process of where their food comes from. And I wanted them to see just how challenging and rewarding it is to grow your own food, so that they would better understand what our farmers are doing every single day across this country and have an appreciation for ... that American tradition of growing our own food and feeding ourselves.

• The great Way is easy, yet people prefer the side paths. Be aware when things are out of balance. Stay centered within the Tao. When rich speculators prosper While farmers lose their land; when government officials spend money on weapons instead of cures; when the upper class is extravagant and irresponsible while the poor have nowhere to turn- all this is robbery and chaos. It is not in keeping with the Tao.

  Laozi

• Los mercados de agricultores fueron un paso más para dar a la gente la oportunidad de tener más poder sobre sus propias vidas, y también para ofrecer otra salida a los productos ecológicos. Esto es importante porque la producción y distribución de alimentos está cada vez más monopolizada y controlada por grandes estructuras corporativas, grandes estructuras financieras.

• The kind of people I myself represent in parliament; salary earners, shopkeepers, skilled artisans, professional men and women, farmers and so on, these are, in a political and economic sense, the middle class. They are for the most part unorganised and unselfconscious.

• Un agricultor, un cazador, un soldado, un periodista, incluso un filósofo, pueden sentirse intimidados; pero nada puede disuadir a un poeta, porque le mueve el amor puro. ¿Quién puede predecir sus idas y venidas? Su trabajo le llama a todas horas, incluso cuando los médicos duermen.
