“Cultivate your garden Do not depend upon teachers to educate you follow your own bent, pursue your curiosity bravely, express yourself, make your own harmony In the end, education, like happiness, is individual, and must come to us from life and from ourselves. There is no way; each pilgrim must make his own path. "Happiness," said Chamfort, "is not easily won; it is hard to find it in ourselves, and impossible to find it elsewhere.” WaySaidEndsHardJoyIndividualPathTeacherImpossibleDependsGardenHarmonyCuriosityPursueEducateElsewhereBentExpress YourselfPilgrim Author:Will Durant
“While a great many other ideas and measures are of prime importance for the good life of the community, that which concerns its architectural expression is the notion of the community as limited in numbers, and in area... To express these relations clearly, to embody them in buildings and roads and gardens in which each individual structure will be subordinated to the whole - this is the end of community planning.” IdeasEndsWholeIndividualCommunityNumbersBuildingExpressionAreasConcernGardenImportanceRelationStructureNotionArchitecturePlanningGreat MenPrimeGood Life Author:Lewis Mumford
“Just as an earthly garden needs constant attention, so, too, does our spiritual garden. When we first begin our journey of spirituality our garden is filled with all sorts of interesting items--it was not, after all, a fallow place before we sought to investigate what might be there and what we could possibly put in it. Everyone's spiritual garden is different, because each individual is unique.” NeedsFirstsDoeDifferentMightSpiritualSpiritualityIndividualInterestingAttentionJourneyUniqueGardenFilledConstantItems Book:A Witch's Notebook: Lessons in Witchcraft Source: A Witch's Notebook: Lessons in Witchcraft
“We are ourselves the stumbling-blocks in the way of our happiness.

“As an individual with my own hurts, I go into the Garden (Gethsemane) as often as I need to. There I identify with the pain in the other, with my part in that pain, my part in tempting someone to wound me. I experience the other's pain, and God's pain, and am devastated - because their pain becomes my own. Feeling such anguish, I can forgive, or deeply repent, either for myself or on behalf of the other.” NeedsI CanFeelingsPainIndividualHurtMy OwnGardenForgivingWoundsAnguishBehalfRepentTemptingDevastatedGethsemane Author:John Sandford
“Surely ruminating and lolling, squandering slivers of time as you ponder on this or that plant; perching about the place on seats chosen for their essential and individual quality, are other whole aspects of being a gardener.

“There are many possible approaches to Australian garden design, and they all reflect the designer's individual response to gardens. For my part, I love all things most gardeners abhor...
