"It is desirable that some large and easily accessible region of American soil should remain as far as possible in its primitive condition, at once a museum for the instruction of the students, a garden for the recreation of the lovers of nature, and an asylum where indigenous trees, plants and beasts may dwell and perpetuate their kind."
- George Perkins Marsh
"There is nothing so American as our National Parks... The fundamental idea behind the Parks...is that the country belongs to the people, that it is in the process of making for the enrichment of the lives of all of us."
- Franklin Roosevelt
"Few of us can hope to leave a poem or work of art to posterity; but working together or apart, we can yet save meadows, marshes, strips of seashore, and stream valleys as a green legacy for the centuries."
- Stuart Udall
"Our National Parks belong to each of us, and they are natural places to learn, exercise, volunteer, spend time with famil and friends, and enjoy the magnificent beauty of our great land."
- George W. Bush
