Wat are 6 quotes in the book ” Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil”?

What is the quote about “tending my garden”?

Hello, I’m a Catholic and I was listening to a priest speak, and he told us a story about St. Francis. Someone asked St. Francis, while he was tending his garden, what he would do if he knew he would die in an hour, and St. Francis responded “I would continue to tend to my garden.”

Today, in my World Civilization class, my teacher said the same thing instead saying it was St. Augustine. Could you please supply me with a link of the actual story and tell me the quote.

Ten points to best answer!

Good job from most of you! I noticed that WinWin is a fast genius in finding pertinent websites, while the rosbifs and the Allans of the world rely more on old knowledge. In the future I will have to find some quotes that are not so easy to search through the internet. Regardless, it has been fun. Thanks to all.
