flowers have an expression of countenance as much as men or animals. Some seem to smile, some have a sad expression, some are pensive and diffident, others again are plain, honest and upright, like the broad-faced sunflower and the hollyhock.
- Henry Ward Beecher
The Amen! of Nature is always a flower.
- Oliver Wendell Holmes
In the hope of reaching the moon
that blossom at their feet.
- Albert Schweitzer
When I walk with you, I feel as if I had a flower in my buttonhole.
- William Makepeace Thackeray
