The toad, without which no garden would be complete. — Charles Dudley Warner

"It is fortunate that each generation does not comprehend its own ignorance. We are thus enabled to call our ancestors barbarous."

"A well known American writer said once that, while everybody talked about the weather, nobody seemed to do anything about it."

"What a man needs in gardening is a cast-iron back,—with a hinge in it."

"There was never a nation great until it came to the knowledge that it had nowhere in the world to go for help."

"Let us celebrate the soil. Most men toil that they may own a piece of it; they measure their success in life by their ability to buy it."

"What small potatoes we all are, compared with what we might be!"
