"The true purpose of education is to teach a man to carry himself triumphant to the sunset." ― Liberty Hyde Bailey Topic(s): Strength More From Liberty Hyde Bailey "My life has been a continuous fulfillment of dreams. It appears that everything I saw and did has a new, and perhaps, more significant meaning, every time I see it. The earth is good. It is a privilege to live thereon." "There is no excellence without labor. One cannot dream oneself into either usefulness or happiness." "A garden requires patient labor and attention. Plants do not grow merely to satisfy ambitions or to fulfill good intentions. They thrive because someone expended effort on them." More In Strength "Only strength can cooperate. Weakness can only beg."― Dwight D. Eisenhower "Oddly, I do have a problem with authority. I find it very difficult to knuckle down and follow rules. Which are the classic symptoms of someone who has a troubled relationship with their father. And yet, I never had a problem with my father."― Toby Young "Nations are equal in respect to each other, and entitled to claim equal consideration for their rights, whatever may be their relative dimensions or strength or however greatly they may differ in government, religion or manners."― James Kent
