| Famous Quotes: |
Good taste is the flower of good sense. (A. Poincelot)
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)
I hope that while so many people are out smelling the flowers, someone is taking the time to plant some. (Herbert Rappaport)
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)
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)
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)
Gardens and flowers have a way of bringing people together, drawing them from their homes. (Clare Ansberry)
Our national flower is the concrete cloverleaf. (Lewis Mumford)
Some people get angry because God put thorns on roses, while others praise him for putting roses among thorns. (Anonymous)
