“People who intentionally become famous - I mean people who, after a little taste of fame, want more and more of it - are, and I honestly believe this, deeply psychologically ill.

“✓In a garden you can find, quiet thoughts that calm the mind.
✓Every noble achievement is a dream before it is a reality just as the oak is an acorn before it is a tree.
✓Life is like a field, where we must gather what we grow, weed or wheat... this is the law, we reap the crop we sow.
✓Happy is the person who can keep a quiet heart, in the chaos and tumult of this modern world
✓While it is February one can taste the full joys of anticipation. Spring stands at the gate with her finger on the latch”
