| Famous Quotes: |
Love is much like a wild rose, beautiful and calm, but willing to draw blood in its defense. (Mark A. Overby)
Just living is not enough, said the Butterfly. One must have sunshine, freedom, and a little flower. (Hans Christian Anderson)

The fragrance always remains in the hand that gives the rose. (Heda Bejar)
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)
In real life, unlike in Shakespeare, the sweetness of the rose depends upon the name it bears. Things are not only what they are. They are, in very important respects, what they seem to be. (Hubert H. Humphrey)
It matters not what goal you seek Its secret here reposes: You've got to dig from week to week To get Results or Roses. (Edgar Guest)
He is happiest who hath power to gather wisdom from a flower. (Mary Howitt)
