When I look at those trees and I look at the beautiful clear blue sky above us here in Georgia and the lakes, rivers and streams that surround us, I see them for what they are -- nature's gift, something precious that we must conserve and pass on to our children, their children and future generations.
-- Chuck Leavell

I feel a sense of pride in the history and heroic deeds accomplished by my forebears, and shall endeavor to so live so that my State will be proud of me for doing my bit to make the State a better Commonwealth for future generations.
-- from the Georgian's Creed

History is all explained by geography.
-- Robert Penn Warren
