| Famous Quotes: |
The fragrance always remains in the hand that gives the rose. (Heda Bejar)
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)
I hope that while so many people are out smelling the flowers, someone is taking the time to plant some. (Herbert Rappaport)
Gardens and flowers have a way of bringing people together, drawing them from their homes. (Clare Ansberry)
Arranging a bowl of flowers in the morning can give a sense of quiet in a crowded day - like writing a poem, or saying a prayer. (Anne Morrow Lindbergh)
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)
For man, as for flower and beast and bird, the supreme triumph is to be most vividly, most perfectly alive. (David H. Lawrence)
A thorn defends the rose, harming only those who would steal the blossom. (Chinese proverb)
