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)
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)
A thorn defends the rose, harming only those who would steal the blossom. (Chinese proverb)
I hope that while so many people are out smelling the flowers, someone is taking the time to plant some. (Herbert Rappaport)
