| Famous Quotes: |
A cynic is a man who, when he smells flowers, looks around for a coffin. (H. L. Mencken)
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)
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)
Flowers are the sweetest things God ever made and forgot to put a soul into. (Henry Ward Beecher)
Gardens and flowers have a way of bringing people together, drawing them from their homes. (Clare Ansberry)
For man, as for flower and beast and bird, the supreme triumph is to be most vividly, most perfectly alive. (David H. Lawrence)
