| Famous Quotes: |
The fragrance always remains in the hand that gives the rose. (Heda Bejar)
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)
The artist is the confidant of nature, flowers carry on dialogues with him through the graceful bending of their stems and the harmoniously tinted nuances of their blossoms, Every flower has a cordial word which nature directs towards him. (Auguste Rodin)
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)
Flowers are the sweetest things God ever made and forgot to put a soul into. (Henry Ward Beecher)
What's in a name? That which we call a rose By any other name would smell as sweet. (William Shakespeare)
