Rosemary Food Quotes

"As for rosemary, I let it run all over my garden walls, not only because my bees love it but because it is the herb sacred to remembrance and to friendship, whence a sprig of it hath a dumb language."
Sir Thomas More

"Where Rosemary flourished, the woman ruled."
Unknown

"There is a vulgar belief in Gloucestershire and other counties, that Rosemary will not grow well unless where the mistress is 'master'; and so touchy are some of the lords of creation upon this point, that we have more than once had reason to suspect them of privately injuring a growing rosemary in order to destroy this evidence of their want of authority."
‘The Treasury of Botany’

"There's Rosemary for you, that's for remembrance! Pray you, love, remember."
William Shakespeare (Ophelia in ‘Hamlet’)
