Flowers Quotes and Quotations
 Flowers may beckon towards us, but they speak toward heaven and God.  Flowers are words Which even a babe may understand. But ne'er the rose without the thorn. And I will make thee beds of roses, And a thousand fragrant posies. Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin. - Matthew Flowers of all hue, and without thorn the rose. In Flanders' fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place, and in the sky, The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard among the guns below. Tis the last rose of summer. Left blooming alone. Where flowers degenerate man cannot live. - Napoleon "Of what are you afraid, my child?" inquired the kindly teacher. "Oh, sir! the flowers, they are wild," replied the timid creature. If of thy mortal goods thoU art bereft, And from thy slender store two loaves alone to thee are left, Sell one, and with the dole Buy hyacinths to feed thy soul. - Sadi Say it with flowers. I sometimes think that never blows so red The Rose as where some buried Caesar bled; That every Hyacinth the Garden wears Dropt in her Lap from some once lovely Head. One thing is certain and the rest is lies; The Flower that once has blown for ever dies. When lilacs last in the dooryard bloom'd, And the great star early droop'd in the western sky the night, I mourn'd - and yet shall mourn with ever-returning spring. |
