| Famous Quotes: |
What's in a name? That which we call a rose By any other name would smell as sweet. (William Shakespeare)
An idealist is one who, on noticing that a rose smells better than a cabbage, concludes that it will also make better soup. (H. L. Mencken)
In real life, unlike in Shakespeare, the sweetness of the rose depends upon the name it bears. Things are not only what they are. They are, in very important respects, what they seem to be. (Hubert H. Humphrey)
A thorn defends the rose, harming only those who would steal the blossom. (Chinese proverb)
He is happiest who hath power to gather wisdom from a flower. (Mary Howitt)
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)
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)
