How deeply seated in the human heart is the liking for gardens and gardening.

The great man is the man who does a thing for the first time.

A bottomless pit of violence, a Tower of Babel where all are speakers and no hearers.

The truly great rest in the knowledge of their own deserts, nor seek the conformation of the world.

The only thing a man knows is himself.

Eternity doth wear upon her face the veil of time. They only see the veil, and thus they know not what they stand so near!

A man does not plant a tree for himself; he plants it for posterity.
