| Famous Quotes: |
For man, as for flower and beast and bird, the supreme triumph is to be most vividly, most perfectly alive. (David H. Lawrence)
You can complain because roses have thorns, or you can rejoice because thorns have roses. (Ziggy)
Nobody sees a flower - really - it is so small it takes time - we haven't time - and to see takes time, like to have a friend takes time. (Georgia O'Keeffe)
What sunshine is to flowers, smiles are to humanity. These are but trifles, to be sure; but, scattered along life's pathway, the good they do is inconceivable. (Joseph Addison)
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)
