One of the pleasures of being a gardener comes from the enjoyment you get looking at other people's yards.

The sense of smell can be extraordinarily evocative, bringing back pictures as sharp as photographs of scenes that had left the conscious mind.

Scents bring memories, and many memories bring nostalgic pleasure. We would be wise to plan for this when we plant a garden.

Today I am sure no one needs to be told that the more birds a yard can support, the fewer insects there will be to trouble the gardener the following year.

Once we become interested in the progress of the plants in our care, their development becomes a part of the rhythm of our own lives and we are refreshed by it.

Anyone starting to garden... would be wise to look around carefully and see what grows well in other people's yards.

I'm no good at cooking or music, but I've always known how to garden. Nobody ever taught me; I just absorbed it. Some families are churchgoers or sports fans. We gardened.

Just because everyone is behaving like a clown, it doesn’t mean you have to join the circus.

Marriage is one sweet way in which one can taste heaven on earth. Similarly, I can also become hell on earth.

May your life be a fountain of love and kindness to fill the world with joy.

LIFE is what YOU make it. Make sure it's AWESOME.

Why play, lounge or labour in a social wasteland? It's toxicity is contagious, and no respecter of persons. Fall back!

Childhood devotions make unfaithful and fickle lovers.

And the meek shall inherit the earth.

To be a critic, you have to have maybe three percent education, five percent intelligence, two percent style, and 90 percent gall and egomania in equal parts.

Act as if you are, and you will become such.

When you tour you become more intimate with your audience. It's like I need reassurance that they like me or at least find me relevant. And that I can still do it.
