| Famous Quotes: |
You can complain because roses have thorns, or you can rejoice because thorns have roses. (Ziggy)
A cynic is a man who, when he smells flowers, looks around for a coffin. (H. L. Mencken)
A thorn defends the rose, harming only those who would steal the blossom. (Chinese proverb)
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)
