This was the first day of our beginning to take up plants: we had much pleasure in collecting them for the natives offered their assistance and perfectly understood the method of taking them up and pruning them.

Before the reward there must be labor. You plant before you harvest. You sow in tears before you reap joy.
Natural abilities are like natural plants; they need pruning by study.
I loved to get all dusty and ride horses and plant potatoes and cotton.
What we plant in the soil of contemplation, we shall reap in the harvest of action.
I could only speak in the smallest, most intimate circles about the real reasons which made me undertake the changeover of the plants for certain lines of production for I had to expect that many people would not understand me.
Use plants to bring life.
We accept it because we have seen the vision. We know that we cannot reap the harvest, but we hope that we may so well prepare the land and so diligently sow the seed that our successors may gather the ripened grain.
I see humanity now as one vast plant, needing for its highest fulfillment only love, the natural blessings of the great outdoors, and intelligent crossing and selection.
It was very important thousands of years ago to categorize things. I can eat that plant, I can't eat that plant. Or this tribe, not that tribe. We don't have to do that anymore - we have processed food now!
Always do your best. What you plant now, you will harvest later.
