"Keep it"

"Most of the most important laws of conduct of human life probably are religious in origin--laws such as these: Be merciful, be forgiving, love your neighbors, be hospitable to strangers, be kind to other creatures, take care of the helpless, love your enemies. We must, in short, love and care for one another and the other creatures.  We are allowed to make no exceptions.  Every person's obligation toward the Creation is summed up in two words from Genesis 2:15: 'Keep it.'"

Wendell Berry, "The Citizenship Papers" (103)
