| Famous Quotes: |
Some people get angry because God put thorns on roses, while others praise him for putting roses among thorns. (Anonymous)
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)
Gardens and flowers have a way of bringing people together, drawing them from their homes. (Clare Ansberry)
A thorn defends the rose, harming only those who would steal the blossom. (Chinese proverb)
What's in a name? That which we call a rose By any other name would smell as sweet. (William Shakespeare)
He is happiest who hath power to gather wisdom from a flower. (Mary Howitt)
