Agriculture probably required a far greater discipline than did any form of food collecting. Seeds had to be planted at certain seasons, some protection had to be given to the growing plants and animals, harvests had to be reaped, stored and divided.

At times, it is better to keep your mouth shut and let people wonder if you're a fool than to open it and remove all doubt.

- James G. Sinclair

Temptation rarely comes in working hours. It is in their leisure time that men are made or marred.

- W. M. Taylor
