“What a man needs in gardening is a cast-iron back, with a hinge in it.”

“The trees that are slow to grow bear the best fruit ”

“Peace is not only better than war, but infinitely more arduous ”

“My health may be better preserved if I exert myself less, but in the end doesn't each person give his life for his calling?”

“If you care enough for a result, you will most certainly attain it”

“Life grants nothing to us mortals without hard work.”
