Quiet Places

The great French Marshall Lyautey once asked his gardener to plant a tree. The gardener objected that the tree was slow growing and would not reach maturity for 100 years.

The Marshall replied, “In that case, there is no time to lose; plant it this afternoon!”

 As told to by John F. Kennedy
