| Famous Quotes: |
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)
He is happiest who hath power to gather wisdom from a flower. (Mary Howitt)

What's in a name? That which we call a rose By any other name would smell as sweet. (William Shakespeare)
Praise is like sunlight to the human spirit: we cannot flower and grow without it. (Jess Lair)
