There is no reason why you should be bored when you can be otherwise. But if you find yourself sitting in the hedgerow with nothing but weeds, there is no reason for shutting your eyes and seeing nothing, instead of finding what beauty you may in the weeds.

True, a few residents trapped rats and frogs and fried them for dinner. A few ate the scrub grass at the sewage lake edge.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar

I don't really care who's doing drugs in the NBA as long as the scene isn't adversely affecting my team and teammates.

It really puzzles me to see marijuana connected with narcotics dope and all of that stuff. It is a thousand times better than whiskey. It is an assistant and a friend.

Freya Stark

The true gardener then brushes over the ground with slow and gentle hand, to liberate a space for breath round some favorites; but he is not thinking about destruction except incidentally. It is only the amateur like myself who becomes obsessed and rejoices with a sadistic pleasure in weeds that are big and bad enough to pull, and at last, almost forgetting the flowers altogether, turns into a Reformer.

Juicy J

And when you take weeds out of a garden it gives you room to grow flowers.

Luther Burbank

If we had paid no more attention to our plants than we have to our children, we would now be living in a jungle of weed.
