Famous quotes containing the words root and/or grafts:

The noisome weeds which without profit suck
The soil’s fertility from wholesome flowers.”

To Man, that sov’raign thing and proud;

Forbidden mixtures there to see.
No Plant now knew the Stock from which it came;
He grafts upon the Wild the Tame:”
