Luther Burbank

Science is knowledge arranged and classified according to truth, facts, and the general laws of nature.

The secret of improved plant breeding, apart from scientific knowledge, is love.

If we had paid no more attention to our plants than we have to our children, we would now be living in a jungle of weed.

Flowers always make people better, happier, and more helpful they are sunshine, food and medicine for the soul.

If you violate Nature's laws you are your own prosecuting attorney, judge, jury, and hangman.

We must return to nature and nature's god.

I see humanity now as one vast plant, needing for its highest fulfillment only love, the natural blessings of the great outdoors, and intelligent crossing and selection.

It is well for people who think to change their minds occasionally in order to keep them clean. For those who do not think, it is best at least to rearrange their prejudices once in a while.
