Please enjoy these quotes about Grass from my collection of quotes and sayings.

on the other side of the fence.
Fences have nothing to do with it.
The grass is greenest where it is watered.
When crossing over fences, carry water with you
and tend the grass wherever you may be.

We need silence to be able to touch souls.
