Updated with quotes for March 2020:

Classic:
I would renounce, therefore, the attempt to create heaven on earth, and focus instead on reducing the hell.
— A. Alan Borovoy, 1988.

Direct:
Mobbings multiply and life is grim in organizations run by true believers in human perfectibility, as compared to those run by admitted sinners accepting of human frailty and politics.
— The Envy of Excellence, 2003, p. 180.

Garden moment for March 2020:

Live oaks (Quercus virginiana) are the prime arboreal symbol of the American South. This one is at Washington Oaks State Park, on a barrier island south of Marineland, Florida.
