| Famous Quotes: |
This bud of love, by summer's ripening breath, May prove a beauteous flower when next we meet. (William Shakespeare)
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 never emit so sweet and strong a fragrance as before a storm. When a storm approaches thee, be as fragrant as a sweet-smelling flower. (Jean Paul Richter)
God gave us memory that we might have roses in December. (James M. Barrie)
The cloning of humans is on most of the lists of things to worry about from Science, along with behaviour control, genetic engineering, transplanted heads, computer poetry and the unrestrained growth of plastic flowers. (Lewis Thomas)
You can complain because roses have thorns, or you can rejoice because thorns have roses. (Ziggy)
