Quotations
On Gardens
All gardens are a form of autobiography. ~ Robert Dash
The garden is a metaphor for life itself. Although not all of us are gardeners, we all plant the seeds of family and friendship. And yes, we must carefully tend them to make them grow. ~ Quoted
The best place to find God is in a garden. You can dig for him there. ~ George Bernard Shaw
He who plants a garden, plants happiness. ~ a Chinese Proverb
On The Art of Living
To know how to grow old is the master work of wisdom, and one of the most difficult chapters in the great art of living. ~ Henri Frederic Amiel
The attempt to develop a sense of humor and to see things in a humorous light is some kind of a trick learned while mastering the art of living. Yet it is possible to practice the art of living even in a concentration camp, although suffering is omnipresent. ~ Viktor Frankl
The art of life is to show your hand. There is no diplomacy like candor. You may lose by it now and then, but it will be a loss well gained if you do. Nothing is so boring as having to keep up a deception. ~ E. V. Lucas
The art of living is always to make a good thing out of a bad thing. ~ E.F. Schumacher
Part of the art of living is knowing how to compare yourself with the right people. Dissatisfaction is often the result of unsuitable comparison. ~ Dr. Heinrich Sobotra
But we must not forget that only a very few people are artist in life; that the art of life is the most distinguished and rarest of all the arts. ~ C.G. Jung
“The truth is that a lost empire, lost power and lost wealth provide perfect circumstances for living happily and contentedly in our enchanted island.” ~ Malcolm Muggeridge

"I am done with great things...
and big plans, great institutions and big success. I am for those tiny, invisible loving human forces that work from individual to individual, creeping through the crannies of the world like so many rootlets, or like the capillary oozing of water, which if given time, will rend the hardest monuments of pride." ~ Quoted
"The great many gardens of the world,
of literature and poetry, of painting and music, of religion and architecture, all make the point as clear as possible: The soul cannot thrive in the absence of a garden. If you don't want paradise, you are not human; and if you are not human, you don't have a soul." ~ Thomas Moore, The Re-Enchantment of Everyday Life, 1996, p. 101

"Let the beauty you love...
be what you do. There are a thousand ways to kneel & kiss the earth." ~Anonymous
This site celebrates 25 years of our growing together in life & in love (1982-2007).
"The most wonderful of all things in life is the discovery of another human being with whom one's relationship has a growing depth, beauty, and joy as the years increase. This inner progressiveness of love between two human beings is a most marvelous thing; it cannot be found by looking for it or by passionately wishing for it. It is a sort of divine accident, and the most wonderful of all things in life." - Quoted
