F
A lady is smarter than a gentleman, maybe,
She can sew a fine seam, she can have a baby,
She can use her intuition instead of her brain,
But she can't fold a paper in a crowded train.

R
The knowingness of little girls
Is hidden underneath their curls.
A
Nothing fails like success; nothing is so defeated as yesterday's triumphant Cause.
N
The trouble with gardening is that it does not remain an avocation. It becomes an obsession.
K
Praise is warming and desirable. But it is an earned thing. It has to be deserved, like a hug from a child.
