I would far rather have two or three lilies of the valley gathered for me by a person I like, than the most expensive bouquet that could be bought!
"ELIZABETH GASKELL"
Our highest assurance of the goodness of
Providence seems to me to rest in the flowers.
All other things, our powers, our desires,
our food, are all really necessary for our existence in the first instance.
But this rose is an extra.
Its smell and its color are an embellishment of life,
not a condition of it.
It is only goodness which gives extras,
and so I say again that we have much to hope from the flowers.
"SIR ARTHUR CONAN DOYLE"
I once had a rose named after me and I was very flattered.
But I was not pleased to read the description in the catalogue: no good in a bed,
but fine up against a wall.
"Eleanor Roosevelt "
In the 20th century, the United States endured two
world wars and other traumatic and expensive
military conflicts; the Depression; a dozen or so recessions
and financial panics; oil shocks; a flu epidemic;
and the resignation of a disgraced president.
Yet the Dow rose from 66 to 11,497.
"Warren Buffett"
But he that dares not grasp the thorn Should never crave the rose.
"Anne Bronte"
