FLOWERS

The intellectual is a

middle-class product; if he is not

born into the class he must soon

insert himself into it, in order to

exist. He is the fine nervous

flower of the bourgeoisie. Let me look upward into the

branches of the flowering oak and

know that it grew great and strong

because it grew slowly and well. Perseverance gives power to

weakness, and opens to poverty the

world's wealth. It spreads

fertility over the barren

landscape, and buds the choicest

FLOWERS and fruits spring up and

flourish in the desert abode of

thorns and briars. A committee is organic

rather than mechanical in its

nature: it is not a structure but a

plant. It takes root and grows, it

FLOWERS, wilts, and dies,

scattering the seed from which

other committees will bloom in

their turn. I want it said of me by

those who knew me best, that I

always plucked a thistle and

planted a flower where I thought a

flower would grow. Die when I may, I want it

said of me by those who knew me

best, that I always plucked a

thistle and planted a flower where

I thought a flower would grow. Formal symbolic

representation of qualitative

entities is doomed to its rightful

place of minor significance in a

world where FLOWERS and beautiful

women abound. It's so clear that you have

to cherish everyone. I think that's

what I get from these older black

women, that every soul is to be

cherished, that every flower Is to

bloom. The FLOWERS anew, returning

seasons bring! But beauty faded has

no second spring. Everyone was tired with the

old style politicians and their

flowery rhetoric. I just told them

there are tough times ahead, but

that they would be less tough with

me in charge. Quotation Keep not your roses for my

dead, cold brow the way is lonely,

let me feel them now. Pardon is the choicest

flower of victory. Whatever I am offered in

devotion with a pure heart -- a

leaf, a flower, fruit, or water --

I accept with joy. Man that is born of woman

hath but a short time to live, and

is full of misery. He comet up, and

is cut down, like a flower; he

fleeth as it were a shadow, and

never continueth in one stay. Of present fame think

little, and of future less; the

praises that we receive after we

are buried, like the FLOWERS that

are strewed over our grave, may be

gratifying to the living, but they

are nothing to the dead. Personality is to a man

what perfume is to a flower. The smallest effort is not

lost. Each wavelet on the ocean

tost aids in the ebb-tide or the

flow; each rain-drop makes some

floweret blow; each struggle

lessens human woe. The fairest thing in

nature, a flower, still has its

roots in earth and manure. Life and love are life and

love, a bunch of violets is a bunch

of violets, and to drag in the idea

of a point is to ruin everything.

Live and let live, love and let

love, flower and fade, and follow

the natural curve, which flows on,

pointless. Love is the flower of life,

and blossoms unexpectedly and

without law, and must be plucked

where it is found, and enjoyed for

the brief hour of its duration. Quotation And if tonight my soul may

find her peace in sleep, and sink

in good oblivion, and in the

morning wake like a new-opened

flower then I have been dipped

again in God, and new-created. The short bloom of our

brief and narrow life flies far

away. While we are calling for

FLOWERS and wine and woman, old age

is upon us. Just as a flower which

seems beautiful and has colour but

no perfume, so are the fruitless

words of the man who speaks them

but does them not. Roses fall, but the thorns

remain. The force that through the

green fuse drives the flower.

Drives my green age that blasts the

roots of trees is my destroyer. The earth laughs in

FLOWERS. April comes like an idiot,

babbling and stewing FLOWERS. If we make our goal to live

a life of compassion and

unconditional love, then the world

will indeed become a garden where

all kinds of FLOWERS can bloom and

grow. Butterflies... not quite

birds, as they were not quite

FLOWERS, mysterious and fascinating

as are all indeterminate creatures. All things by immortal

power. Near of far, to each other

linked are, that thou canst not

stir a flower without troubling of

a star. Quotation Beauty, unaccompanied by

virtue, is as a flower without

perfume. I hate FLOWERS -- I paint

them because they're cheaper than

models and they don't move. Every flower is a soul

blossoming in Nature. An old man loved is winter

with FLOWERS. Fair FLOWERS are not left

standing along the wayside long. A cynic is a man who, when

he smells FLOWERS, looks around for

a coffin. suns and skies and clouds

of June, and FLOWERS of June

together. Ye cannot rival for one

hour October's bright blue weather. Whether the flower looks

better in the nosegay than in the

meadow where it grew and we had to

wet our feet to get it! Is the

scholastic air any advantage? One of the most attractive

things about the FLOWERS is their

beautiful reserve. Death is the dropping of

the flower that the fruit may

swell. Quotation He who hunts for FLOWERS

will finds FLOWERS; and he who

loves weeds will find weeds. People from a planet

without FLOWERS would think we must

be mad with joy the whole time to

have such things about us. I believe love produces a

certain flowering of the whole

personality which nothing else can

achieve. The world is full of people

who never quite get into the first

team and who just miss the prizes

at the flower show. There is a close

relationship between FLOWERS and

convicts. The fragility and

delicacy of the former are of the

same nature as the brutal

insensitivity of the latter. The flower is the poetry of

reproduction. It is the example of

the eternal seductiveness of life. Give fools their gold, and

knaves their power; let fortune's

bubbles rise and fall; who sows a

field, or trains a flower, or

plants a tree, is more than all. Happiness held is the seed;

Happiness shared is the

flower-Author Unknown People need

your love the most when they appear

to deserve it the least. You may chisel a boy into

shape, as you would a rock, or

hammer him into it, if he be of a

better kind, as you would a piece

of bronze. But you cannot hammer a

girl into anything. She grows as a

flower does. What sunshine is to

FLOWERS, smiles are to humanity.

These are but trifles, to be sure;

but, scattered along life's

pathway, the good they do is

inconceivable.
