Gather the rose of love whilst yet is time.
- Edmund Spenser
If thou canst but thither,
There grows the flower of Peace,
The rose that cannot wither,
Thy fortress and thy ease.
- Henry Vaughn
A cynic is a man who, when he smells flowers, looks around for a coffin.
- H.L. Mencken
Every flower about a house certifies to the refinement of somebody.
Every vine climbing and blossoming tells of love and joy".
- Robert G. Ingersoll
