Dig Ditch Quotes & Sayings

If you are really spontaneous, people will think you are mad. If you go to a tree and start talking, or to a flower, people will think you are mad.

Be a Gardener. Dig a ditch. Toil and sweat. And turn the earth upside down. And seek the deepness. And water plants in time. Continue this labor.

Great men,
Till they have gained their ends, are giants in
Their promises, but, those obtained, weak pigmies
In their performance. And it is a maxim
Allowed among them, so they may deceive,
They may swear anything; for the queen of love,
As they hold constantly, does never punish,
But smile, at lovers' perjuries. — Philip Massinger

One is ashamed to say how little is needed for all men to be delivered from those calamities which now oppress them; it is only needful not to lie. — Leo Tolstoy
