“I wouldn't coax the plant if I were you.
Such watchful nursing may do it harm.
Let the soil rest from so much digging
And wait until it's dry before you water it.
The leaf's inclined to find its own direction;
Give it a chance to seek the sunlight for itself.

Much growth is stunted by too careful prodding,
Too eager tenderness.
The things we love we have to learn to leave alone.”
― Naomi Long Madgett

“We can complain because rose bushes have thorns, or rejoice because thorns have roses.”
― Alphonse Karr, A Tour Round My Garden

“Always bet on the underdog. They've got ambition and nothing to lose.”
― Clint Borgen

“Don't allow the pride, ego and insecurities of others stunt your growth.”
― Yvonne Pierre, The Day My Soul Cried: A Memoir
