A Small House and Large Garden

"I never had any other desire so strong, and so like covetousness, as that.... I might be master at last of a small house and a large garden, with very moderate conveniences joined to them, and there dedicate the remainder of my life to the culture of them and the study of nature." ~Abraham Cowley

It were happy if we studied nature more in natural things, and acted according to nature, whose rules are few, plain, and most reasonable.”
~ William Penn (1644-1718)
Quaker Founder of Pennsylvania
