| Famous Quotes: |
Gardens and flowers have a way of bringing people together, drawing them from their homes. (Clare Ansberry)
Just living is not enough, said the Butterfly. One must have sunshine, freedom, and a little flower. (Hans Christian Anderson)
Good taste is the flower of good sense. (A. Poincelot)
This bud of love, by summer's ripening breath, May prove a beauteous flower when next we meet. (William Shakespeare)
Flowers never emit so sweet and strong a fragrance as before a storm. When a storm approaches thee, be as fragrant as a sweet-smelling flower. (Jean Paul Richter)
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)
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)
