Flowers
have an expression of countenance as much as men or animals.
Some seem to smile; some have a sad expression; some are pensive
and diffident; others again are plain, honest and upright,
like the broad-faced sunflower and the hollyhock.
-Henry
Ward Beecher

When
we look deeply into
the heart of a flower, we
see clouds,
sunshine,
minerals, time, the earth,
and everything else
in the cosmos in it. Without clouds there
could be no rain,
and without rain
there would be no flower.
-Thich
Nhat Hanh
|
| |
| The
flowers are nature's jewels, with whose wealth she decks her
summer beauty. -George Croly |
| |
|
If one finds oneself with bread in both hands, that
person
should exchange one loaf for some flowers of the narcissus,
because the loaf feeds the body, but the flowers feed the soul.
-Mohammed
|
| |
|
Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow;
they toil not,
neither do they spin; And yet I say unto you that
even Solomon
in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
-Jesus of Nazareth |
| |
|
People from a planet without flowers would
think
we must be mad with joy the whole time
to have such things about us.
-Iris Murdoch
|
| |
| In joy or
sadness, flowers are our constant friends.
-Kozuko Okakura |
|
|
|
|
As I hold the
flower
in my hand and
think of trying
to
describe it, I realize how poor a creature I am, how impotent
are words in the
presence of
such perfection.
-Celia Thaxter
|
| |
| There is not the least flower but seems to hold up
its head,
and to look pleasantly, in the secret sense
of the
goodness of its Heavenly Maker.
-Robert South |
| |
|
What a desolate place would be a world without
flowers. It would be
a face without a smile, a feast without
a welcome. Are not flowers the stars of the earth? And
are not our stars the flowers of heaven?
-Clara Balfour |
| |
Thanks to the human heart by which we live,
Thanks to its tenderness, its joy, and fears,
To me the meanest flower that blows can give
Thoughts that do often lie too deep for tears.
-William Wordsworth |
| |
| Bread feeds the body, indeed, but flowers
feed also the soul. -The Koran |
| |
|
Flowers
are the sweetest things God ever made, and forgot to put a soul
into. -Henry
Ward Beecher
|
| |
| To
analyze the charms of flowers is like dissecting music;
it is one of those things which it is far better to enjoy
than to attempt to understand.
-Henry T.
Tuckerman |
| |
|
|
| |
|
Flowers and fruits are always fit
presents,--flowers,
because they are a proud assertion that a ray
of beauty
outvalues all the utilities of the world.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson |
| |
I will be the gladdest thing
Under the sun!
I will touch a hundred flowers
And not pick one.
-Edna St. Vincent Millay |
| |
|
I'd rather have roses on my table than diamonds on my
neck. -Emma Goldman
|
| |
And 'tis my faith that every flower
enjoys the air it breathes.
-William Wordsworth
|
| |
|
A morning-glory at my window
satisfies me
more than
the metaphysics of books.
-Walt Whitman |
| |
|
|
| |
|
For the Infinite has sowed his name in the
heavens in burning stars,
but on the earth he has sowed his name in tender flowers.
-Jean Paul Richter
|
|
|
| Earth laughs in flowers.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson |
| |
| If you would attain
to your highest, go look upon a flower; what the flower does
willessly, that do
willingly. -Johann von
Schiller |
|
|
The flower that follows the sun does so even in
cloudy days. -Robert Leighton |
| |
|
The amen of Nature is always a flower.
-Oliver Wendell Holmes |
