| Famous Quotes: |
Our national flower is the concrete cloverleaf. (Lewis Mumford)
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)
To see a world in a Grain of Sand, And a Heaven in a Wild Flower, Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand, And eternity in an hour. (William Blake)
The most precious gift we can offer others is our presence. When mindfulness embraces those we love, they will bloom like flowers. (Thich Nhat Hanh)
Flowers are the sweetest things God ever made and forgot to put a soul into. (Henry Ward Beecher)
I hope that while so many people are out smelling the flowers, someone is taking the time to plant some. (Herbert Rappaport)
Some people get angry because God put thorns on roses, while others praise him for putting roses among thorns. (Anonymous)
What's in a name? That which we call a rose By any other name would smell as sweet. (William Shakespeare)
