Those who seek for gold dig up much earth and find a little. -Heraclitus, Fragment 22 (c. 535 – c. 475 BCE)
The difference between the man (sic) who just cuts lawns and a real gardener is in the touching. The lawn-cutter might just as well not have been there at all; the gardener will be there a lifetime. ― Ray Bradbury, Fahrenheit 451 (1953)
