A flower's appeal is in its contradictions - so delicate in form yet strong in fragrance, so small in size yet big in beauty, so short in life yet long on effect.
Adabella Radici
The flower is the poetry of reproduction. It is an example of the eternal seductiveness of life.
Jean Giraudoux
Autumn is a second spring where every leaf is a flower
Albert Camus
And if tonight my soul may find her peace in sleep, and sink in good oblivion, and in the morning wake like a new-opened flower then I have been dipped again in God, and new-created.
D.H. Lawrence
Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower.
Albert Camus
To me the meanest flower that blows can give Thoughts that do often lie too deep for tears.
William Wordsworth
Earth laughs in flower
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A weed is no more than a flower in disguise.
James Russell Lowell
If instead of a gem, or even a flower, we should cast the gift of a loving thought into the heart of a friend, that would be giving as the angels give.
George MacDonald
To keep the body in good health is a duty, for otherwise we shall not be able to trim the lamp of wisdom, and keep our mind strong and clear. Water surrounds the lotus flower, but does not wet its petals.
Buddha
Faith is not a delicate flower which would wither away under the slightest stormy weather
Mahatma Gandhi
Freedom has its life in the hearts, the actions, the spirit of men and so it must be daily earned and refreshed - else like a flower cut from its life-giving roots, it will wither and die.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
