| Famous Quotes: |
Good taste is the flower of good sense. (A. Poincelot)
You can complain because roses have thorns, or you can rejoice because thorns have roses. (Ziggy)
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)
God gave us memory that we might have roses in December. (James M. Barrie)
For man, as for flower and beast and bird, the supreme triumph is to be most vividly, most perfectly alive. (David H. Lawrence)
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)
