Famous Quotes & Sayings

Sylvia Browne

The weeds keep multiplying in our garden, which is our mind ruled by fear. Rip them out and call them by name.

Radhanath Swami

Renunciation doesn't mean giving up things externally but rather it means diligently pulling out the weeds from the heart.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

To clothe the fiery thought In simple words succeeds, For still the craft of genius is To mask a king in weeds.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

All things with which we deal preach to us. What is a farm but a mute gospel? The chaff and the wheat, weeds and plants, blight, rain, insects, sun,--it is a sacred emblem from the first furrow of spring to the last stack which the snow of winter overtakes in the fields.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

A weed is a plant whose virtue is not yet known.

L. Ron Hubbard

So we listen. We add up associations of people with people. When a push against Scientology starts somewhere, we go over the people involved and weed them out. Push vanishes.

Terry Pratchett

Fear is a strange soil. It grows obedience like corn, which grow in straight lines to make weeding easier. But sometimes it grows the potatoes of defiance, which flourish underground.

Tom Petty

Let's get to the point Let's roll another joint

Simon Helberg

Everybody has something now. It's become very over-saturated, and it's hard to weed out what's good, what you should watch and what you have time to watch. And Twitter was much less crowded, at the time, and it was an easier way to reach people. So, the combination of having a great video, a lot more access to people through Twitter, and having Kickstarter be this new thing in. We tapped into it, at its inception, and got people interested in it just based on the concept of what Kickstarter was. The timing was right.

Richard Branson

I'd like to see the government back a programme of research into the medical properties of cannabis and I do not object to its responsible use as a recreational relaxant.

Ron Kaufman

Tend your own garden: savor the blossoms, trim the weeds.

Roger Williams

A false religion out of the church will not hurt the church, any more than weeds in the wilderness hurt an enclosed garden, or poisons hurt the body when they are not taken, and antidotes are received against them.

Rush Limbaugh

Admitted to Playboy in 1993 that he smoked marijuana twice.

Thomas Jefferson

There is not a sprig of grass that shoots uninteresting to me.

Thomas Jefferson

Hemp is of first necessity to the wealth & protection of the country.

Robert Wilson Lynd

On the whole, however, the critic is far less of a professional faultfinder than is sometimes imagined. He is first of all a virtue-finder, a singer of praise. He is not concerned with getting rid of dross except in so far as it hides the gold. In other words, the destructive side of criticism is purely a subsidiary affair. None of the best critics have been men of destructive minds. They are like gardeners whose business is more with the flowers than with the weeds.

Richard Paul Evans

Roses can grow in slums just as weeds can grow around mansions.

Robert Louis Stevenson

I would rather do a good hours work weeding than write two pages of my best; nothing is so interesting as weeding. I went crazy over the outdoor work, and at last had to confine myself to the house, or literature must have gone by the board.

Washington Irving

There rise authors now and then, who seem proof against the mutability of language, because they have rooted themselves in the unchanging principles of human nature. They are like gigantic trees that we sometimes see on the banks of a stream; which, by their vast and deep roots, penetrating through the mere surface, and laying hold on the very foundations of the earth, preserve the soil around them from being swept away by the ever-flowing current, and hold up many a neighboring plant, and perhaps worthless weed, to perpetuity.

William Zinsser

Fighting clutter is like fighting weeds-the writer is always slightly behind,

William S. Burroughs

Junk is not, like alcohol or weed, a means to increased enjoyment of life. Junk is not a kick. It is a way of life.

Woody Harrelson

I do smoke, but I don't go through all this trouble just because I want to make my drug of choice legal. It's about personal freedom. We should have the right in this country to do what we want, if we don't hurt anybody. Seventy-two million people in this country have smoked pot. Eighteen to 20 million in the last year. These people should not be treated as criminals.

William Morris

The wind is not helpless for any man's need, Nor falleth the rain but for thistle and weed.

William J. Clinton

I experimented with marijuana a time or two.

William J. Clinton

When I was in England, I experimented with marijuana a time or two, and I didn’t like it, and I didn’t inhale, and I never tried again.

William F. Buckley, Jr.

The amount of money and of legal energy being given to prosecute hundreds of thousands of Americans who are caught with a few ounces of marijuana in their jeans simply makes no sense - the kindest way to put it. A sterner way to put it is that it is an outrage, an imposition on basic civil liberties and on the reasonable expenditure of social energy.

William F. Buckley, Jr.

Even if one takes every reefer madness allegation of the prohibitionists at face value, marijuana prohibition has done far more harm to far more people than marijuana ever could.

Ronald Reagan

I now have absolute proof that smoking even one marijuana cigarette is equal in brain damage to being on Bikini Island during an H-bomb blast

Saint Augustine

Anger is a weed; hate is a tree
