| Famous Quotes: |
What's in a name? That which we call a rose By any other name would smell as sweet. (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)
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)
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)
A thorn defends the rose, harming only those who would steal the blossom. (Chinese proverb)
This bud of love, by summer's ripening breath, May prove a beauteous flower when next we meet. (William Shakespeare)
A cynic is a man who, when he smells flowers, looks around for a coffin. (H. L. Mencken)
