I have a garden of my own,
But so with roses overgrown,
And lilies,
that you would it guess to be a little wilderness.
- Andrew Marvell
If I had a single flower for every time I think about you, I could walk forever in my garden.
- Attributed to Claudia Ghandi
To me, the meanest flower that blows can give thoughts that do often lie too deep for tears.
- William Wordsworth
From a thorn comes a rose, and from a rose comes a thorn.
- Greek Proverb
