Wendell Berry Quotes

The Divine Mandate To Use The World Justly And Charitably, Then, Defines Every Person's Moral Predicament As That Of A Steward. But This Predicament Is Hopeless And Meaningless Unless It Produces An Appropriate Discipline: Stewardship. And Stewardship Is Hopeless And Meaningless Unless It Involves Long-term Courage, Perseverance, Devotion, And Skill. This Skill Is Not To Be Confused With Any Accomplishment Or Grace Of Spirit Or Of Intellect. It Has To Do With Everyday Proprieties In The Practical Use And Care Of The Created Things - With Right Livelihood.
