| Famous Quotes: |
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)
Just living is not enough, said the Butterfly. One must have sunshine, freedom, and a little flower. (Hans Christian Anderson)
An idealist is one who, on noticing that a rose smells better than a cabbage, concludes that it will also make better soup. (H. L. Mencken)
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)
You can complain because roses have thorns, or you can rejoice because thorns have roses. (Ziggy)
Good taste is the flower of good sense. (A. Poincelot)
