Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
After a storm comes a calm.
Know or listen to those who know.
Who seeks shall find.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
I think this is what hooks one to gardening: it is the closest one can come to being present at creation.
Mistakes are the usual bridge between inexperience and wisdom.
