| Famous Quotes: |
Some people get angry because God put thorns on roses, while others praise him for putting roses among thorns. (Anonymous)
Love is much like a wild rose, beautiful and calm, but willing to draw blood in its defense. (Mark A. Overby)
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)
This bud of love, by summer's ripening breath, May prove a beauteous flower when next we meet. (William Shakespeare)
Good taste is the flower of good sense. (A. Poincelot)
Our national flower is the concrete cloverleaf. (Lewis Mumford)
