More quotes by Wendell Berry
I thought, He must forebear to reveal His power and glory by presenting Himself as Himself, and must be present only in the ordinary miracle of the existence of His creatures. Those who wish to see Him must see Him in the poor, the hungry, the hurt, the wordless creatures, the groaning and travailing beautiful world.
Wendell Berry
Do not tax your life with forethought of grief.
Wendell Berry
The chance you had is the life you've got. You can make complaints about what people, including you, make of their lives after they have got them, and about what people make of other people's lives, ...but you mustn't wish for another life. You mustn't want to be somebody else.
Wendell Berry
We need better government, no doubt about it. But we also need better minds, better friendships, better marriages, better communities.
Wendell Berry
The ecological principle in agriculture is to connect the genius of the place, to fit the farming to the farm.
Wendell Berry
There is much good work to be done by every one of us and we must begin to do it.
Wendell Berry
An agrarian mind begins with the love of fields and ramifies in good farming, good cooking & good eating
Wendell Berry
I like the way that the history of the tree shapes the tree. There's no distinction between the tree and its history. You can lose yourself in that thought.
Wendell Berry
The world is whole beyond human knowing.
Wendell Berry
I'd rather rely on mother nature's wisdom than man's cleverness
Wendell Berry
The language that reveals also obscures.
Wendell Berry
I don't think I had even begun to have an idea where I was going, but wherever it was, that was where I wanted to go.
Wendell Berry
The world, which God looked at and found entirely good, we find none too good to pollute entirely and destroy piecemeal.
Wendell Berry
Akin to the idea that time is money is the concept, less spoken but as commonly assumed, that we may be adequately represented by money. The giving of money has thus become our characteristic virtue. But to give is not to do. The money is given in lieu of action, thought, care, time.
Wendell Berry
The music, while it lasted, brought a new world into being.
Wendell Berry
The reason to preserve wilderness is that we need it. We need wilderness of all kinds, large and small, public and private. Wee need to go now and again into places where our work is disallowed, where our hopes and plans have no standing. We need to come into the presence of the unqualified and mysterious formality of Creation.
Wendell Berry
There is change by necessity or adaptation, and there is contrived change or novelty.
Wendell Berry
Education in the true sense, of course, is an enablement to serve-both the living human community in its natural household or neighborhood and the precious cultural possessions that the living community inherits or should inherit.
Wendell Berry
We learn from our gardens to deal with the most urgent question of the time: How much is enough?
Wendell Berry
The aim of industrialization has always been to replace people with machines or other technology, to make the cost of production as low as possible, to sell the product as high as possible, and to move the wealth into fewer and fewer hands.
Wendell Berry
