Harvest Quotes - Page 3

• Live as if you liked yourself, and it may happen:
  reach out, keep reaching out, keep bringing in.
  This is how we are going to live for a long time: not always,
  for every gardener knows that after the digging, after
  the planting,
  after the long season of tending and growth, the harvest comes.

• Yet the leaf is the chief product and phenomenon of Life: this is a green world, with animals comparatively few and small, and all dependent on the leaves. By leaves we live. Some people have strange ideas that they live by money. They think energy is generated by the circulation of coins. Whereas the world is mainly a vast leaf colony, growing on and forming a leafy soil, not a mere mineral mass: and we live not by the jingling of our coins, but by the fullness of our harvests.

  Patrick Geddes

• Now is the accepted time, not tomorrow, not some more convenient season. It is today that our best work can be done and not some future day or future year.

• In some ways, I saw the garden as a metaphor for certain aspects of my life. A leader must also tend his garden; he, too, plants seeds, and then watches, cultivates, and harvests the results. Like the gardener, a leader must take responsibility for what he cultivates; he must mind his work, try to repel enemies, preserve what can be preserved, and eliminate what cannot succeed.

  Nelson Mandela
