Famous quotes containing the words farm and/or recipes:

    “What is a farm but a mute gospel? The chaff and the wheat, weeds and plants, blight, rain, insects, sun—it is a sacred emblem from the first furrow of spring to the last stack which the snow of winter overtakes in the fields.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “Science means simply the aggregate of all the recipes that are always successful. All the rest is literature.”
    —Paul Valéry (1871–1945)
