To own a bit of ground, to scratch it with a hoe, to plant seeds, and watch their renewal of life this is the commonest delight of the race, the most satisfactory thing a man can do.

 - Charles Dudley Warner

We charge every man with positive dishonesty who drives birds from his garden in fruit-time. The fruit is theirs as well as yours. They took care of it as much as you did. If they had not eaten egg, worm, and bug, your fruit would have been pierced and ruined. They only come for wages. No honest man will cheat a bird of his spring and summer's work.

 - Henry Ward Beecher
