| Famous Quotes: |
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)
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)
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)
The most precious gift we can offer others is our presence. When mindfulness embraces those we love, they will bloom like flowers. (Thich Nhat Hanh)
I hope that while so many people are out smelling the flowers, someone is taking the time to plant some. (Herbert Rappaport)
Our national flower is the concrete cloverleaf. (Lewis Mumford)
Just living is not enough, said the Butterfly. One must have sunshine, freedom, and a little flower. (Hans Christian Anderson)
