We learn from our gardens to deal with the most urgent question of the time: How much is enough?

Yesterday is but today's memory and tomorrow is today's dream.

Real knowledge is to know the extent of one's ignorance.

Resist much. Obey little.

A mistake is always forgivable, rarely excusable and always unacceptable.

It is not enough to have a good mind; the main thing is to use it well.

When playing board-games which involve quizzes etc, you will always know the answers to everyone else's set of questions but never your own.

We never see ourselves as others see us.

Each day is a little life; every waking and rising a little birth; every fresh morning a little youth; every going to rest and sleep a little death.

Anywhere you go in the world is what you make of it, not what you read in books.

No matter how much suffering you went through, you never wanted to let go of those memories.

I know I am but mortal and so therewhilst prepare myself for death, whensoever it shall please God to send it.

What lies behind us and what lies ahead of us are tiny matters compared to what lives within us.

Generosity is giving more than you can, and pride is taking less than you need.

Science is organized knowledge. Wisdom is organized life.

Doubt is the origin of wisdom

It is tact that is golden, not silence.

For we walk by faith, not by sight

Things which matter most must never be at the mercy of things which matter least.

You want a love which is born out of meditation, not born out of the mind.

Men build too many walls and not enough bridges.
