Famous quotes containing the word cultivation:

    Any writer, I suppose, feels that the world into which he was born is nothing less than a conspiracy against the cultivation of his talent.
    James Baldwin (1924–1987)

    We are on a mission: we are called to the cultivation of the earth.
    Novalis [Friedrich Von Hardenberg] (1772–1801)

    If you will think about what you ought to do for other people, your character will take care of itself. Character is a by-product, and any man who devotes himself to its cultivation in his own case will become a selfish prig.
    Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
