How long did it take you to find that, Kimberly?.
I'm not home so I don't have access to my DVDs right now. I will check out those episodes when I get a chance.

Not long at all. I just clicked on Catindakota's forum name, clicked on her most recent threads and voila! There is the thread she was talking about. You had already recently let us know that it was not "The Deed". Cat mentioned the episode of John maybe selling out and I knew the big speech in that episode was of John Boy about Jim Bob and Elizabeth. Someone had mentioned that it might be in "The Conflict", but I don't remember it being in that double episode.
The only other logical episode that I could possibly think that it might be in, is "The Cloudburst". John Boy sells his land in that one, regrets it, tries to get it back, fails. At least he was able to convince his neighbors not to sell because of the strip mining. I remember him talking to grandpa in the episode about losing the very piece of land that he had entrusted to him. This would be the right time for Grandpa to mention this speech in order to help John Boy get over being so upset at his own self.

Well I guess this weekend I will be having a Waltons marathon with my DVD's. I know Will Geer said that and I thought it was maybe said to Jim Bob, maybe in the Cloudburst when he took Elizabeth and Jim Bob out to the forest. He was so worried that the mining company would destroy the forest, so he was talking to Elizabeth and Jim Bob. I can be totally wrong, but at least I will have my own Waltons marathon to watch while I clean my house and write my lesson plans.

In the Cloudburst, Grandpa tells the community about owning the land. He said that the land is given to us in trust. It is at the very end of the episode when they are having church services on the mountain. Not exactly the same quote but I am still looking.

The scene I mentioned before with Grandpa, Elizabeth and Jim Bob, was in the Intruders and the quote was not in that episode.

I found it! It is from the Warrior season 6 episode 4: "Who owns the land? Only the land knows. We mortals are passers-by and our lives are but a brief moment in the great span of time and space. We are born, we live out our lives, and most of us do the best we can with it. But the wind is forever, and the rivers flow forever to the sea, and all the seasons of the weathers will come and go after we are gone. But the earth endures, the earth is eternal".

The quote we're looking for is "You can't own a mountain any more than you can own an ocean or a piece of the sky. You hold it in trust. You live on it, you take life from it, and once you're dead, you rest in it." Edgar Bergan said it in The Homecoming and Will Geer also said it in an episode.

Can anyone tell me which episode it was that Grandpa said something that started with, "No man can own a mountain...?" I know he said it in the Homecoming when John boy asked him if they had something that showed they owned Waltons Mountain. Grandpa answered that you can't own a mountain, etc, etc. But was there an episode where Will Geer said something similar about the mountain? And if so, does anyone know which episode it was?
Just saw it -- in "The Heritage" (S2, E18) -- when Grandpa and John-Boy are up at the hot spring.... he says it to Noah Beery who is there with another man, both supposedly surveyors but actually scouting land to open a resort
