"To sit in the shade on a fine day and look upon verdure is the most perfect refreshment." — Jane Austen

Give me odorous at sunrise a garden of beautiful flowers where I can walk undisturbed

There is nothing like staying at home for real comfort

God Almighty first planted a garden. And indeed, it is the purest of human pleasures

The home to everyone is to him his castle and fortress, as well for his defence against injury and violence, as for his repose

He who sleeps half a day has won half a life

There is peace and rest and comfort in sorrow
