A garden isn't meant to be useful. It's for joy. Rumer Godden found in Power of Simple Living by Ellyn Sanna

Drink very good tea out of a thin Wocester cup of colour between apricot and pink.

You can be a nuisance to your family. You mustn't be a nuisance to your friends.

It's only by being obstinate that anything is got, or done.
