"Exclusiveness in a garden is a mistake as great as it is in society." ― Alfred Austin Topic(s): Society More From Alfred Austin "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." "Public opinion is no more than this: what people think that other people think." "There is no gardening without humility. Nature is constantly sending even its oldest scholars to the bottom of the class for some egregious blunder." More In Society "Do not waste your time on Social Questions. What is the matter with the poor is Poverty; what is the matter with the rich is Uselessness."― George Bernard Shaw "The point I am making is that in the more primitive forms of society the individual is merely a unit; in more developed forms of society he is an independent personality."― Herbert Read "American society as a whole can never achieve the outer-reaches of potential, so long as it tolerates the inner cities of despair."― Jack Kemp
