I consider it the highest compliment when my employees go out and start their own companies in competition with me. I always send them a plant to wish them well. Of course, it`s a cactus.
Norman Brodsky
We must plant the sea and herd its animals using the sea as farmers instead of hunters. That is what civilization is all about - farming replacing hunting.
Jacques Cousteau
For myself I hold no preferences among flowers, so long as they are wild, free, spontaneous. Bricks to all greenhouses! Black thumb and cutworm to the potted plant!
Edward Abbey
A practical botanist will distinguish at the first glance the plant of the different quarters of the globe and yet will be at a loss to tell by what marks he detects them
Carolus Linnaeus

Dan Quayle

Mike Tyson
The physician can bury his mistakes, but the architect can only advise his client to plant vines - so they should go as far as possible from home to build their first buildings.
Frank Lloyd Wright
I was like a plant in the wrong ground. It wasn`t the right earth for me, but I think it was great because I was in touch with the nature and grew up in nature with forest and trees, fields, mountains, rivers, and it was good.

I drove a truck for a while for a meat packing plant. I shoveled manure at the Clarmont Riding Academy in New York. Mopped floors for a while. I uploaded railroad cars and trailers at a warehouse. I wasn`t really qualified for anything else. - On his meni...

Why is it coming to Idaho? Because we`ve never had a coal-fired plant, because we have excellent air, excellent water, and excellent soil. I come from, born and raised and lived in the midwestern state of Indiana where we had coal-fired plants all over th...

When you go to plant a flag on the visiting team`s field, it`s a form of taunting, ... What message are you sending when you spear it into the turf of your defeated opponent?
