The very heart and core of ages past,
The reason why men lived and worked and died,
The essence and quintessence of their lives.”

—Adam Smith (1723–1790)
“The mission of men there seems to be, like so many busy demons, to drive the forest all out of the country, from every solitary beaver swamp and mountain-side, as soon as possible.”
