“He who wants a rose must respect her thorn.”
“But he who dares not grasp the thorn Should never crave the rose.”
“No rose without a thorn but many a thorn without a rose.”
“If you enjoy the fragrance of a rose, you must accept the thorns which it bears.”
“No rose without a thorn. Yes, but many a thorn without a rose.”
“I gave her roses and she blames me for the thorns”
