Most people have to talk so they won't hear.
~ May Sarton
Excellence costs a great deal.
There is only one real deprivation... and that is not to be able to give one's gifts to those one loves most.
The more articulate one is, the more dangerous words become.
Everything that slows us down and forces patience, everything that sets us back into the slow circles of nature, is a help. Gardening is an instrument of grace.
Help us to be ever faithful gardeners of the spirit, who know that without darkness nothing comes to birth, and without light nothing flowers.
No partner in a love relationship... should feel that he has to give up an essential part of himself to make it viable.
The garden is growth and change and that means loss as well as constant new treasures to make up for a few disasters.
A house that does not have one warm, comfy chair in it is soulless.
