| Famous Quotes: |
Praise is like sunlight to the human spirit: we cannot flower and grow without it. (Jess Lair)
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)
Love is much like a wild rose, beautiful and calm, but willing to draw blood in its defense. (Mark A. Overby)
Gardens and flowers have a way of bringing people together, drawing them from their homes. (Clare Ansberry)
He is happiest who hath power to gather wisdom from a flower. (Mary Howitt)
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)
