“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.” MenGivingMindLittlesSelfWholeFoundLostGrowsLosesMy OwnRoomsAtheismFlowerPrideIntellectualConsequenceGardenPlantSatisfactionVicesPositive AtheismContactArroganceBigotryWeedIntoleranceBasketsOf My MindSelf-satisfaction Author:Luther Burbank
