"Exclusiveness in a garden is a mistake as great as it is in society." ― Alfred Austin Topic(s): Society More From Alfred Austin "There is no gardening without humility. Nature is constantly sending even its oldest scholars to the bottom of the class for some egregious blunder." "Public opinion is no more than this: what people think that other people think." "The glory of gardening: hands in the dirt, head in the sun, heart with nature. To nurture a garden is to feed not just on the body, but the soul." More In Society "No society can surely be flourishing and happy, of which the far greater part of the members are poor and miserable."― Adam Smith "A society that does not correctly interpret and appreciate its past cannot understand its present fortunes and adversities and can be caught unawares in a fast changing world."― Ibrahim Babangida "Justice must always question itself, just as society can exist only by means of the work it does on itself and on its institutions."― Michel Foucault
