~ Gardening is the art that uses flowers and plants as paint, and the soil and sky as canvas. ~ ~ Of all the wonderful things in the wonderful universe of God, nothing seems to me more surprising than the planting of a seed in the blank earth and the result thereof. ~ ~ The improvement of the mind improves the heart and corrects the understanding. ~ ~ Kiss of the sun for pardon. Song of the birds for mirth. You're closer to God's heart in a garden than any place else on earth ~ ~ Art is the unceasing effort to compete with the beauty of flowers and never succeeding. ~ ~ Trees are the earth's endless effort to speak to the listening heaven. ~ ~ We tend to view confidence as a product of accomplishment rather than part of the process that leads there. But supremely confident people were confident long before they achieved anything. ~ ~ Baseball is very big with my people. It figures. It's the only way we can get to shake a bat at a white man without starting a riot ~ ~ Every day is a new opportunity. You can build on yesterday's success or put its failures behind and start over again. That's the way life is, with a new game every day, and that's the way baseball is ~ ~ Every day is a new opportunity. You can build on yesterday's success or put its failures behind and start over again. That's the way life is, with a new game every day, and that's the way baseball is. ~ ~ The point of philosophy is to start with something so simple as not to seem worth stating, and to end with something so paradoxical that no one will believe it ~ ~ The grand show is eternal. It is always sunrise somewhere; the dew is never dried all at once; a shower is forever falling; vapor is ever rising. Eternal sunrise, eternal dawn and gloaming, on sea and continents and islands, each in its turn, as the round earth rolls ~ ~ My definition of a philosopher is of a man up in a balloon, with his family and friends holding the ropes which confine him to earth and trying to haul him down ~ ~ What is the first business of philosophy? To part with self-conceit. For it is impossible for anyone to begin to learn what he thinks that he already knows ~ ~ The point of philosophy is to start with something so simple as not to seem worth stating, and to end with something so paradoxical that no one will believe it. ~ ~ There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, Than are dreamt of in your philosophy ~ ~ There are more things in Heaven and Earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophies ~ ~ Art requires philosophy, just as philosophy requires art. Otherwise, what would become of beauty? ~ ~ All who have meditated on the art of governing mankind have been convinced that the fate of empires depends on the education of youth. ~ ~ The danger is not that a particular class is unfit to govern. Every class is unfit to govern ~ ~ There is no power on earth that can neutralize the influence of a high, simple and useful life. ~ ~ Only a government that is rich and safe can afford to be a democracy, for democracy is the most expensive and nefarious kind of government ever heard of on earth ~ ~ This country is a one-party country. Half of it is called Republican and half is called Democrat. It doesn't make any difference. All the really good ideas belong to the Libertarians ~ ~ You have rights antecedent to all earthly governments; rights that cannot be repealed or restrained by human laws; right derived from the Great Legislator of the Universe ~ ~ The government of the United States is a definite government, confined to specified objects. It is not like state governments, whose powers are more general. Charity is no part of the legislative duty of the government ~ ~ The danger is not that a particular class is unfit to govern. Every class is unfit to govern ~ ~ Haste, holy Friar, Haste, ere the sinner shall expire! Of all his guilt let him be shriven, And smooth his path from earth to heaven! ~ ~ And then it started, like a guilty thing Upon a fearful summons. ~ ~ Food is an important part of a balanced diet. ~ ~ We are living in a world today where lemonade is made from artificial flavors and furniture polish is made from real lemons. ~ |
