| Famous Quotes: |
It matters not what goal you seek Its secret here reposes: You've got to dig from week to week To get Results or Roses. (Edgar Guest)
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)
A cynic is a man who, when he smells flowers, looks around for a coffin. (H. L. Mencken)
The artist is the confidant of nature, flowers carry on dialogues with him through the graceful bending of their stems and the harmoniously tinted nuances of their blossoms, Every flower has a cordial word which nature directs towards him. (Auguste Rodin)
You can complain because roses have thorns, or you can rejoice because thorns have roses. (Ziggy)
Praise is like sunlight to the human spirit: we cannot flower and grow without it. (Jess Lair)
