"To laugh often and much, to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a little better place than we found it, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one breath breathed easier because you lived, This is to have succeeded."

~ Bessie Anderson Stanley (Amer., b. before 1900, d. 1952)
Best known for the famous poem, "What is Success?" written for a contest in 1904, Boston, Massachusetts, U.S.A.

"When I begin to write about flowers, I lose all sense of restraint, and it is far, far too late to do anything about it." ~ John Beverly Nichols (1898 - 1983) English author best remembered for his gardening books. Garden Photo: Compliments of a friend. Thank you, dear friend.

Time ~

" That great mystery of Time, were there no other; the illimitable silent never-resting thing called Time, rolling, rushing on, swift, silent, like an all-embracing ocean tide, on which we and all the Universe swim like exhalations, like apparitions which are and then are not: this is, forever very literally a miracle; a thing to strike us dumb ~ for we have no word to speak about it!"
~ Thomas Carlyle (1795 - 1881) Scottish satirical writer, Victorian Romanticism.

"What better way to win a heart than to spend a lazy summer afternoon in some shady and secluded country spot, a stream meandering by at the foot of the grassy slope, a few fleecy clouds floating over head, and a bright red-and-white checkered cloth spread out, upon which sits the champagne,the fat wedge of pate de campagne, the strawberries and cream?"
