“ What a man needs in gardening is a cast-iron back, with a hinge in it. ”
The excellence of a gift lies in its appropriateness rather than in itsvalue.
~ Charles Dudley Warner
It is one of the beautiful compensations of this life that no one can sincerely try to help another without helping himself.
Broad acres are a patent of nobility and no man but feels more of a man in the world if he have a bit of ground that he can call his own. However small it is on the surface it is 4000 miles deep and that is a very handsome property.
It is only fools who keep straining at high C all their lives.
