“Make your books your companions, let your cases and shelves be your pleasure grounds and gardens. Bask in their paradise, gather their fruit, pluck their roses, take their spices and myrrh. If your soul satiate and weary, change from garden to garden, from furrow to furrow, from prospect to prospect. Then will your desire renew itself and your soul be filled with delight.”
“Eden is within you; it is your life's garden. It is from this internal garden that you experience your external life. If you see weeds, pluck them!”
“My soul, be satisfied with flowers,With fruit, with weeds even; but gather themIn the one garden you may call your own.”
“Burn, burn burn -- burn your wicked garden down ... Burn, burn burn -- burn your wicked garden to the ground ”
“There's a black rose growing in your garden.”
“Kind hearts are the gardens, Kind thoughts are the roots, Kind words are the flowers, Kind deeds are the fruits, Take care of your garden And keep out the weeds, Fill it with sunshine, Kind words, and Kind deeds.”
