  3. A quotation from Joseph Joubert

    When we think what we do not feel, we lie to ourselves. We must always think with our whole being, soul and body.

    Joseph Joubert (1754-1824) French moralist, philosopher, essayist, poet
    Pensées [Thoughts], ch. 9 “De la Sagesse, de la Vertu, etc. [On Wisdom and Virtue],” ¶ 52, 1798 entry (1850 ed.) [tr. Collins (1928), ch. 8]

    #OTD Claude #Aubriet, #French #Illustrator & #Botanical #Artist.

    Although he didn't belong to the Academy of #Painting & #Sculpture, he became #Painter to the #King & lived at the #Royal #Garden until he died.
    In 1722, he changed his will, leaving his most-prized possession, a #Cabinet from Jean #Joubert, to the #Botanist Bernard #Jussieu.
    Today, the genus Aubrieta ("Aubreesha") is named for Claude Aubriet. After #Flowering, #Pruning will encourage new #Shoots.
