Flowers always make people better, happier, and more helpful; they are sunshine, food and medicine for the soul.
A flower is an educated weed.
I have seen myself lose intolerance, narrowness, bigotry, complacence, pride and a whole bushel-basket of other intellectual vices through my contact with Nature and with men. And when you take weeds out of a garden it gives you room to grow flowers. So, every time I lost a little self-satisfaction, or arrogance, I could plant some broadness or love of my own in its place, and after a while the garden of my mind began to bloom and be fragrant and I found myself better equipped for my work and more useful to others as a consequence.
The secret of improved plant breeding, apart from scientific knowledge, is love.
If we had paid no more attention to our plants than we have to our children, we would now be living in a jungle of weed.
