Even though the college man raises no more wheat than his neighbor, he will have more satisfaction raising it. He will know why he turns the clod he will challenge the worm that burrows in the furrow his eyes will follow the field mouse that scuds under the grass he will see the wild fowl winging its way across the heaven. All these things will add to the meaning of life and they are his.
More Quotes from Liberty Bailey:
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.Liberty Bailey
The sense of conquest is in it. Not often is a collector able to obtain complete material in one assault. The plant may be at the moment sterile, or only in fruit or flower... but this lack has the advantage of stimulating the collector to go back in another season or year to complete the work.
Liberty Bailey
It is a marvelous planet on which we ride. It is a great privilege to live thereon, to partake in the journey, and to experience its goodness. We may cooperate rather than rebel. We should try to find the meanings rather than to be satisfied only with the spectacles. My life has been a continuous fulfillment of dreams.
Liberty Bailey

But I remember the moment when my father died. I wasn't a very committed Catholic beforehand, but when that happened it suddenly all felt so obvious: I now believe religion is our attempt to find an explanation, for us to feel more protected.
