Wilderness

"If future generations are to remember us with gratitude rather than contempt, we must leave them more than the miracles of technology. We must leave them a glimpse of the world as it was in the beginning, not just after we got through with it."

-Lyndon B. Johnson (1908-1973)
36th President of the United States

Remarks made on signing the Wilderness Act into law, 1964
