“…..Any man who has planted a tree and knows that it will grow up and be pleasant to others in years to come hence is experiencing in a small way what is one of the srongest emotions in humaity. This is a noble emotion when a man lays out gardens, levels terraces and plants woods for no other benefit than for his successors.”
