Farming and farmers

The farmer is the only man in our economy who buys everything at retail, sells everything at wholesale, and pays the freight both ways.
- Kennedy, John F.

Best Quotes about Farming and farmers

1.
Whenever there are in any country uncultivated lands and unemployed poor, it is clear that the laws of property have been so far extended as to violate natural right. The earth is given as a common stock for man to labor and live on. The small landowners are the most precious part of a state.
Jefferson, Thomas

2.
The land too poor for any other crop, is best for raising men.
Pocock, R.

3.
There is, of course, a gold mine or a buried treasure on every mortgaged homestead. Whether the farmer ever digs for it or not, it is there, haunting his daydreams when the burden of debt is most unbearable.
Brodie, Fawn M.

4.
Life on a farm is a school of patience; you can't hurry the crops or make an ox in two days.
Alain, Henri

5.
The master's eye is the best fertilizer.
Pliny The Elder

6.
Sowing is not as difficult as reaping.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

7.
By avarice and selfishness, and a groveling habit, from which none of us is free, of regarding the soil as property, or the means of acquiring property chiefly, the landscape is deformed, husbandry is degraded with us, and the farmer leads the meanest of lives. He knows Nature but as a robber.
Thoreau, Henry David

8.
I see upon their noble brows the seal of the Lord, for they were born kings of the earth far more truly than those who possess it only from having bought it.
Sand, George

9.
Farmers are philosophical. They have learned that it is less wearing to shrug than to beat their breasts.
Stout, Ruth

10.
Like a gardener I believe what goes down must come up.
Giacomini, Lynwood L.

11.
No one hates his job so heartily as a farmer.
Mencken, H. L.

12.
It is thus with farming, if you do one thing late, you will be late in all your work.
Cato The Elder

13.
He felt with the force of a revelation that to throw up the clods of earth manfully is as beneficent as to revolutionize the world. It was not the matter of the work, but the mind that went into it, that counted -- and the man who was not content to do small things well would leave great things undone.
Glasgow, Ellen

14.
I know of no pursuit in which more real and important services can be rendered to any country than by improving its agriculture, its breed of useful animals, and other branches of a husbandman's cares.
Washington, George

15.
The first farmer was the first man. All historic nobility rests on the possession and use of land.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

16.
With the introduction of agriculture mankind entered upon a long period of meanness, misery, and madness, from which they are only now being freed by the beneficent operation of the machine.
Russell, Bertrand

17.
Farm policy, although it's complex, can be explained. What it can't be is believed. No cheating spouse, no teen with a wrecked family car, no mayor of Washington, D.C., videotaped in flagrant has ever come up with anything as farfetched as U.S. farm policy.
O'Rourke, P. J.

18.
Farmers only worry during the growing season, but towns people worry all the time.
Howe, Edgar Watson

19.
The farmer works the soil. The agriculturalist works the farmer.
Ware, Eugene F.

20.
A good farmer is nothing more nor less than a handy man with a sense of humus.
White, Elwyn Brooks

21.
There seem to be but three ways for a nation to acquire wealth. The first is by war, as the Romans did, in plundering their conquered neighbors. This is robbery. The second by commerce, which is generally cheating. The third by agriculture, the only honest way, wherein man receives a real increase of the seed thrown into the ground, in a kind of continual miracle, wrought by the hand of God in his favor, as a reward for his innocent life and his virtuous industry.
Franklin, Benjamin

22.
The farmer is the only man in our economy who buys everything at retail, sells everything at wholesale, and pays the freight both ways.
Kennedy, John F.

23.
It is sad, no doubt, to exhaust one's strength and one's days in cleaving the bosom of this jealous earth, which compels us to wring from it the treasures of its fertility, when a bit of the blackest and coarsest bread is, at the end of the day's work, the sole recompense and the sole profit attaching to so arduous a toil.
Sand, George

24.
There is no gilding of setting sun or glamour of poetry to light up the ferocious and endless toil of the farmers wives.
Garland, Hamlin

25.
There are only three things that can kill a farmer: lightning, rolling over in a tractor, and old age.
Bryson, Bill
