Garden Quotes

“Pleasure in the job puts perfection in the work.”

“Cultivate your own garden and let go of your tendency to examine and judge how others cultivate theirs. Catch yourself in moments of gossip about how others ought to be living and rid yourself of thoughts about how they should be doing it this way, or how they have no right to live and think as they do. Stay busy and involved in your own projects and pursuits.”

“Happiness is a butterfly, which when pursued, is always just beyond your grasp, but which, if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you.”

“Always do your best. What you plant now, you will harvest later.”

“The indispensable first step to getting the things you want out of life is this: decide what you want.”

“Don't judge each day by the harvest you reap but by the seeds that you plant.”

“The answer is never the answer. What's really interesting is the mystery. If you seek the mystery instead of the answer, you'll always be seeking. I've never seen anybody really find the answer, but they think they have. So they stop thinking.

“Someone is sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago.”

“One of the most tragic things I know about human nature is that all of us tend to put off living. We are all dreaming of some magical rose garden over the horizon instead of enjoying the roses that are blooming outside our windows today.”

“So plant your own gardens and decorate your own soul, instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers.”
