| Famous Quotes: |
Good taste is the flower of good sense. (A. Poincelot)
It is not growing like a tree in bulk doth make man better be; Or standing long an oak, three hundred year, To fall a log at last, dry, bald, and sere, A lily of a day is fairer in May Although it fall and die that night, It was the plant of flower and light, In small proportions we just beauties see; And in short measures, life may perfect be. (Benjamin Johnson)
Praise is like sunlight to the human spirit: we cannot flower and grow without it. (Jess Lair)
Flowers are the sweetest things God ever made and forgot to put a soul into. (Henry Ward Beecher)
The cloning of humans is on most of the lists of things to worry about from Science, along with behaviour control, genetic engineering, transplanted heads, computer poetry and the unrestrained growth of plastic flowers. (Lewis Thomas)
The fragrance always remains in the hand that gives the rose. (Heda Bejar)
