When The Traveler Goes Alone

A Garden Requires Patient Labor And Attention. Plants Do Not Grow Merely To Satisfy Ambitions Or To Fulfill Good Intentions. They Thrive Because Someone Expended Effort On Them.

We Accept It Because We Have Seen The Vision. We Know That We Cannot Reap The Harvest, But We Hope That We May So Well Prepare The Land And So Diligently Sow The Seed That Our Successors May Gather The Ripened Grain.

The Man Who Worries Morning And Night About The Dandelions In The Lawn Will Find Great Relief In Loving The Dandelions.

There Is No Excellence Without Labor. One Cannot Dream Oneself Into Either Usefulness Or Happiness.

Extension Work Is Not Exhortation. Nor Is It Exploitation Of The People, Or Advertising Of An Institution, Or Publicity Work For Securing Students. It Is A Plain, Earnest, And Continuous Effort To Meet The Needs Of The People On Their Own Farms And In The Localities.
