Plants Quotes

It is a fact that plants also have life like animals. But animals are endowed with mind, and nervous systems too while the plants do not possess the same Picture Quote #1

The avaricious man is like the barren sandy ground of the desert which sucks in all the rain and dew with greediness, but yields no fruitful herbs or plants for the benefit of others Picture Quote #1

Our attitude towards plants is a singularly narrow one. If we see any immediate utility in a plant we foster it. If for any reason we find its presence undesirable or merely a matter of indifference, we may condemn it to destruction forthwith Picture Quote #1

One must first seek to love plants and nature, and then to cultivate that happy peace of mind which is satisfied with little. He will be happier if he has no rigid and arbitrary ideals, for gardens are coquettish, particularly with the novice Picture Quote #1

I wish that every child could have growing space because I think children are a little like plants. If they grow too close together, they become thin and sickly and never obtain maximum growth. We need room to grow Picture Quote #1

There is, as yet, no sense of pride in the husbandry of wild plants and animals, no sense of shame in the proprietorship of a sick landscape. We tilt windmills in behalf of conservation in convention halls and editorial offices, but on the back forty we disclaim even owning a lance Picture Quote #1

When we mistake what we can know for all there is to know, a healthy appreciation of one’s ignorance in the face of a mystery like soil fertility gives way to the hubris that we can treat nature as a machine. Once that leap has been made, one input follows another, so that when the synthetic nitrogen fed to plants makes them more attractive to insects and vulnerable to disease, as we have discovered, the farmer turns to chemical pesticides to fix his broken machine Picture Quote #1

I woke up one day to the fact that the earth’s surface was made for living plants, not industrial plants Picture Quote #1

Pray look upon the plants and birds, the ants, spiders, and bees, and you will see them all exerting their nature, and busy in their station. Pray, shall not a man act like a man? Picture Quote #1

Unlike a child in a totally urban environment, my friends and peer group were not only other children, but also wild and domesticated animals, plants of every sort, brooks and waterfalls, rocks and sand Picture Quote #1

If the weeds are pulled out of the garden too soon, the too shallow roots of the plants developing around it get pulled up with the weed also. Time is what is needed before criticism can be useful Picture Quote #1

There’s a country spread out in the sky, a credulous carpet of rainbows and crepuscular plants: I move toward it just a bit haggardly, trampling a gravedigger’s rubble still moist from the spade to dream in a bedlam of vegetables Picture Quote #1

Habit is, of all the plants of human growth, the one that has the least need of nutritious soil in order to live, and is the first to appear on the most seemingly barren rock Picture Quote #1

We experimented and we experienced many altered states of awareness. We used the power plants. I did that for a year or two Picture Quote #1

Plants seem like an excellent model for the kind of future that we should be building Picture Quote #1

Young ladies should take care of themselves. Young ladies are delicate plants. They should take care of their health and their complexion. My dear, did you change your stockings? Picture Quote #1

Sooner or later every gardener must face the fact that certain things are going to die on him. It is a temptation to be anthropomorphic about plants, to suspect that they do it to annoy Picture Quote #1

The columbine... is a graceful slender creature, a female seeking retirement, and growing freest and most graceful where it is most alone. I observed that the more shaded plants were always the tallest Picture Quote #1

Isn’t it wonderful that two of the most sacred and symbolic plants, the olive and the vine, live on almost nothing, a terrace of limestone, sun and rain Picture Quote #1

If plants could be credited with reasoning powers, we would marvel at the imaginative ways they bribe or ensnare other creatures to carry out their wishes Picture Quote #1

Imagination! My problem is that I have so many ideas, I never have enough time to use them all. Just the other day I thought up eleven things I could do with a flowerpot. Eleven! Three of those things didn’t even involve plants Picture Quote #1

Firmness in all aspects is a most important quality when gardening, not only in planting but in pruning, dividing and tying up. Plants are like babies, they know when an amateur is handling them Picture Quote #1

Well lose more species of plants and animals between 2000 and 2065 than weve lost in the last 65 million years. If we don’t find answers to these problems, were gonna be victims of this extinction event that were at fault for Picture Quote #1

Your fervent wishes can only find fulfillment if you succeed in attaining love and understanding of men, and animals, and plants, and stars, so that every joy becomes your joy and every pain your pain Picture Quote #1

Shape and color are my two strong things. And by doing this, drawing plants has always led me into my paintings and my sculptures Picture Quote #1

People think the earth is going to die and they have to save it. Thats ridiculous. If you rid the earth of flowering plants, people would die, period. But the earth was without flowering plants for almost all of its history Picture Quote #1

Man is an individual. The animals, plants and minerals are divided into species. They are not individualized in the same sense that man is Picture Quote #1

One would think that plants belonging to the same genus would always produce identical or at least similar oils. But this is by no means so Picture Quote #1

I think we should stop using nuclear power plants because it’s an old system that we can’t control Picture Quote #1
