"Never let anything go to waste . . . And what you get more than you can take care of yourselves, ask your neighbors to help you consume . . . If a man is worth millions of bushels of wheat and corn, he is not wealthy enough to . . . sweep a single kernel of it into the fire; let it be eaten by something and pass again into the earth, and thus fulfill the purpose for which it grew."
