Every rose has its thorn: You never find a woman without pins and needles.

This old world that we're livin' in is might hard to beat.
You get a thorn with every rose But - ain't the roses sweet?
- Frank Stanton
It will never rain roses.
When we want to have more roses,
we must plant more roses.

The world is a rose, smell it and pass it to your friends.
