If you said you would do a thing, you’d better do it. My grandfather and father would go out of their way to do good deeds for their neighbours because goodwill counted for a lot. If anyone bought a sheep from us and had the slightest complaint about it, we took it back and repaid them or replaced it with another.

We shaped this landscape, and we were shaped by it in turn. My people lived, worked, and died down there for countless generations. It is what it is because of them and people like them. It is, above all, a peopled landscape. Every acre of it has been defined by the actions of men and women over the past ten thousand years. Even the mountains were mined and quarried, and the seemingly wild woodland behind us was once intensively harvested and coppiced. Almost everyone I am related to and care about lives within sight of that fell. When we call it our landscape, we mean it as a physical and intellectual reality.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "James Rebanks" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/james-rebanks/the-entire-history-of-our-family-has-played-out-in-the-fields-and/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/9de/james-rebanks-88020_family_the-entire-history-of-our-family-has-pla_1536500.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/9de/james-rebanks-88020_family_the-entire-history-of-our-family-has-pla_1536500.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/9de/james-rebanks-88020_family_the-entire-history-of-our-family-has-pla_1536500.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“the entire history of our family has played out in the fields and villages stretching away beneath that…” — James Rebanks", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 3, "item": { "@type": "Quotation", "text": "“If we want to understand the people in the foothills of Afghanistan, we may need to try and understand the people in the foothills of England first.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "James Rebanks" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/james-rebanks/if-we-want-to-understand-the-people-in-the-foothills-of-afghanistan/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/e00/james-rebanks-88020_quote_if-we-want-to-understand-the-people-in-t_1834440.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/e00/james-rebanks-88020_quote_if-we-want-to-understand-the-people-in-t_1834440.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/e00/james-rebanks-88020_quote_if-we-want-to-understand-the-people-in-t_1834440.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“If we want to understand the people in the foothills of Afghanistan, we may need to try and understand the…” — James Rebanks", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } } ] }, { "@type": "Person", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/author/james-rebanks/#person", "name": "James Rebanks", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/author/james-rebanks/" }, { "@type": "ProfilePage", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/author/james-rebanks/#webpage", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/author/james-rebanks/", "name": "James Rebanks", "isPartOf": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#website" }, "mainEntity": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/author/james-rebanks/#person" }, "primaryImageOfPage": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/584/james-rebanks-88020_business_neither-of-these-men-cared-remotely-abou_1163741.jpg" }, "description": "James Rebanks has 3 quotes on SMS4Smile.
