Famous quotes containing the words garden and/or cities:

    “My garden is run wild!
    Where shall I plant anew—
    For my bed, that once was covered with thyme,
    Is all overrun with rue?”
    —Mrs. Fleetwood Habergham (d. 1703)

    “Do you know what Agelisas said, when he was asked why the great city of Lacedomonie was not girded with walls? Because, pointing out the inhabitants and citizens of the city, so expert in military discipline and so strong and well armed: “Here,” he said, “are the walls of the city,” meaning that there is no wall but of bones, and that towns and cities can have no more secure nor stronger wall than the virtue of their citizens and inhabitants.”
    —François Rabelais (1494–1553)
