Famous quotes containing the words garden and/or state:

    Ah, yet, ere I descend to the grave,
    May I a small house and large garden have;
    And a few friends, and many books, both true,
    Both wise, and both delightful too!
    And since love ne’er will from me flee,
    A mistress moderately fair,
    And good as guardian angels are,
    Only beloved and loving me.
    Abraham Cowley (1618–1667)

    Men cannot conceive of a state of things so fair that it cannot be realized.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
