| Liberty Hyde Baileyb: South Haven, Michigan, Mar 15, 1858 d: Ithaca, New York, Dec 25, 1954 American. Botanist. Founded Bailey Hortorium, 1920, world's first botanical instituion for studying cultivated plants; wrote many encyclopedias.
A person cannot love a plant after he has pruned it, then he has either done a poor job or is devoid of emotion. Anyone who acquires more than the usual amount of knowledge concerning a subject is bound to leave it as his contribution to the knowledge of the world. My life has been a continuous fulfillment of dreams. It appears that everything I saw and did has a new, and perhaps, more significant meaning, every time I see it. The earth is good. It is a privilege to live thereon. One does not begin to make a garden until he wants a garden. To want a garden is to be interested in plants, in the winds and rains, in birds and insects, in the warm-smelling earth. The true purpose of education is to teach a man to carry himself triumphant to the sunset. |
