LICA Creed

LAND ...
The foundation of the Nation
The basis of all wealth
The Heritage of the wise
The thrifty and prudent
The poor man's joy and comfort
The silent partner of man
The producer of food, fiber and fuel
The basis of factories
The foundation of banks
All that man builds is from the land.
We often take it for granted, or even abuse it, 
and yet many unthinkingly and unknowingly pass the land by.
What man finally does with the land will be the deciding factor of his survival.
