If there were nothing else to trouble us, the fate of the flowers would make us sad.
- John Lancaster Spalding
True friendship is like a rose: we don't realize its beauty until it fades.
- Evelyn Loeb
Different flowers look good to different people
Pick the flower when it is ready to be picked.
The flower that you spent time to care for does not grow
while the willow that your accidentally planted flourishes and gives shade.
- Chinese Proverbs
The violets in the mountains have broken the rocks.
- Tennessee Williams
