1. Johnson - “Many have no happier moments than those that they pass in solitude, abandoned to their own imagination, which sometimes puts sceptres in their hands or miters on their heads, shifts the scene of pleasure with endless variety, bids all the forms of beauty sparkle before them, and gluts them with every change of visionary luxury.”

11. Eric Johnson - “If there is one word which characterizes our world in this exciting last half of the twentieth century, the word is change. Change in political life — change in economic life — change is social life — change in personal life. Change is the hallmark of our times. It’s not gradual, comfortable change. It is sudden, rapid, often violent. It touches and often disrupts whole cultures and hundreds of millions of people. Behind it all lies an explosive growth in scientific knowledge and accomplishment. Some 90 per cent of all the scientists who ever lived are living today and the total accumulation of scientific knowledge is doubling every ten years. But this is reality. If we remember that, then we will never flinch at change. We will adjust to it, welcome it, meet it as a friend and know it as God’s will.”

12. Etta Johnson - “Life’s clock The clock of life is wound but once, and no man has the power To tell just when the hands will stop, at late or early hour. To lose one’s wealth is sad indeed, to lose one’s health is more, To lose one’s soul is such a loss as no man can restore. The present only is our own, live, love, toil with a will; Place no faith in tomorrow for the clock may then be still.”

21. Hugh Johnson - “What, if anything, do the infinity of different traditional and individual ideas of a garden have in common? They vary so much in purpose, in size, in style and content that not even flowers, or even plants at all, can be said to be essential. In the last analysis there is only one common factor between all gardens, and this is the control of nature by man. Control, that is, for aesthetic reasons.... The essence is control. Without constant watchful care a garden - any garden - rapidly returns to the state of the country all around it.”
