“Life is full of paradoxes, as roses are of thorns.”
“No rose without a thorn but many a thorn without a rose.”
“If life is fair why does roses have thorns”
“No rose without a thorn. Yes, but many a thorn without a rose.”
“Roses and thorns are parts of the same plant. Somehow though, some people are concerned mainly about the roses. The rose is not on the plant for more than a week, but the thorns are there forever.Roses are teaching that the beauty of life will bloom, once you have taught yourself the lessons given by living with the thorns.”
“The optimist sees the rose and not its thorns; the pessimist stares at the thorns, oblivious to the rose.”
