One of the most tragic things I know about human nature is that all of us tend to put off living. We are all dreaming of some magical rose garden over the horizon-instead of enjoying the roses blooming outside our windows today.
Dale Carnegie
Take time to smell the roses
Proverb
How cunningly nature hides every wrinkle of her inconceivable antiquity under roses and violets and morning dew!
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Truths and roses have thorns about them.
Henry David Thoreau
A life with love must have some thorns, but a life with no love will have no roses.
Unknown
We can complain because rose bushes have thorns, or rejoice because thorn bushes have roses
Abraham Lincoln
I'd rather have roses on my table than diamonds on my neck.
Emma Goldman
So lifeÃs year begins and closes; Days though shortening still can shine; What though youth gave love and roses; Age still leaves us friends and wine.
Thomas Moore
They are not long, the days of wine and roses; Out of a misty dream Our path emerges for a while, then closes Within a dream.
Ernest Dowson
What though youth gave love and roses age still leaves us friends and wine
Thomas Moore
Revolution is not a bed of roses. A revolution is a struggle to the death between the future and the past.
Fidel Castro
Treaties are like roses and young girls - they last while they last
Charles de Gaulle
Our love is kind of stalled, baby. But it ain't about the sex. I'd trade the roses and the negligees If we could just connect. I go deeper when you look into my eyes. There's a place where neither one of us can hide. And it's up to us to reinvent the game. Love it when you call my name.
James Joseph Brown
I don't know whether nice people tend to grow roses or growing roses makes people nice.
Roland A Beowne
