| Famous Quotes: |
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)
He is happiest who hath power to gather wisdom from a flower. (Mary Howitt)
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)
Gardens and flowers have a way of bringing people together, drawing them from their homes. (Clare Ansberry)
Just living is not enough, said the Butterfly. One must have sunshine, freedom, and a little flower. (Hans Christian Anderson)
Praise is like sunlight to the human spirit: we cannot flower and grow without it. (Jess Lair)
