| Famous Quotes: |
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)
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)
A cynic is a man who, when he smells flowers, looks around for a coffin. (H. L. Mencken)
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)
He is happiest who hath power to gather wisdom from a flower. (Mary Howitt)
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)
You can complain because roses have thorns, or you can rejoice because thorns have roses. (Ziggy)
