Plant Quotations
You can plant a dream. Anne Campbell What is a weed? A plant whose virtues have never been discovered. Ralph Waldo Emerson For myself I hold no preferences among flowers, so long as they are wild, free, spontaneous. Bricks to all greenhouses! Black thumb and cutworm to the potted plant! Edward Abbey All my life I have tried to pluck a thistle and plant a flower wherever the flower would grow in thought and mind. Abraham Lincoln Even if I knew that tomorrow the world would go to pieces, I would still plant my apple tree. Martin Luther |
