The world is a rose; smell it and pass it to your friends.
Flowers seem intended for the solace of ordinary humanity.
When you have only two pennies left in the world, buy a loaf of bread with one, and a lily with the other.
Flowers... are a proud assertion that a ray of beauty out-values all the utilities of the world.

Flowers are poetry of reproduction.

God has sown his name on the heavens in glittering stars; but on earth he planteth his name by tender flowers.
