A Quote by Luther Burbank

A flower is an educated weed. — © Luther Burbank
A flower is an educated weed.
Love is not a hot-house flower, but a wild plant, born of a wet night, born of an hour of sunshine; sprung from wild seed, blown along the road by a wild wind. A wild plant that, when it blooms by chance within the hedge of our gardens, we call a flower; and when it blooms outside we call a weed; but, flower or weed, whose scent and colour are always, wild!
A weed is but an unloved flower.
Be honest, be nice, be a flower not a weed.
Invention is a flower, innovation is a weed.
A weed is no more than a flower in disguise.
Competition is a tough weed, not a delicate flower.
The only difference between a flower and a weed is judgement.
The desert weed lives on, but the flower of spring blooms and wilts.
A flower is not a flower. It is made only of non-flower elements - sunshine, clouds, time, space, earth, minerals, gardeners, and so on. A true flower contains the whole universe. If we return any one of these non-flower elements to its source, there will be no flower.
FORTRAN is not a flower but a weed - it is hardy, occasionally blooms, and grows in every computer.
Once in a golden hour, I cast to earth a seed, And up there grew a flower, That others called a weed.
A weed is no more than a flower in disguise, Which is seen through at once, if love give a man eyes.
Holding occasion by the hand, Not over nice 'twixt weed and flower, Waiving what none can understand, I make mine hour.
By the time we left college, I had become my own image: a dandelion in the flower bed of society. Kinda cute, but still a weed.
Very often, people are obsessed with what others think of them. It's like if a flower wants to be a cactus or a palm but it's not. A flower is a flower, and that's enough. That's all you have to do is be a flower.
I heard on public radio recently, there's a thing called Weed Dating. Singles get together in a garden and weed and then they take turns, they keep matching up with other people. Two people will weed down one row and switch over with two other people. It's in Vermont. I don't think I'd be very good at Weed Dating.
