Famous Quotes:

A thorn defends the rose, harming only those who would steal the blossom. (Chinese proverb)

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)

Flowers are the sweetest things God ever made and forgot to put a soul into. (Henry Ward Beecher)

Praise is like sunlight to the human spirit: we cannot flower and grow without it. (Jess Lair)

Good taste is the flower of good sense. (A. Poincelot)

If the day and the night are such that you greet them with with joy, and life emits a fragrance like flowers and sweet-scented herbs, more elastic, more starry, more immortal--that is your success. (Henry David Thoreau)
