| Famous Quotes: |
Flowers are the sweetest things God ever made and forgot to put a soul into. (Henry Ward Beecher)
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)
Love is much like a wild rose, beautiful and calm, but willing to draw blood in its defense. (Mark A. Overby)
Praise is like sunlight to the human spirit: we cannot flower and grow without it. (Jess Lair)
You can complain because roses have thorns, or you can rejoice because thorns have roses. (Ziggy)
To see a world in a Grain of Sand, And a Heaven in a Wild Flower, Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand, And eternity in an hour. (William Blake)
