Landscape Gardening Quotes By Earl Nightingale

But somehow people wait passively for success to come to them, living as other people are living in the unspoken, tacit assumption that other people know how to live successfully. — Earl Nightingale

The first supermarket supposedly appeared on the American landscape in 1946. That is not very long ago. Until then, where was all the food?
