| 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)
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)
Arranging a bowl of flowers in the morning can give a sense of quiet in a crowded day - like writing a poem, or saying a prayer. (Anne Morrow Lindbergh)
Gardens and flowers have a way of bringing people together, drawing them from their homes. (Clare Ansberry)
Some people get angry because God put thorns on roses, while others praise him for putting roses among thorns. (Anonymous)
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 thorn defends the rose, harming only those who would steal the blossom. (Chinese proverb)
