“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.”
“By cultivating the beautiful we scatter the seeds of heavenly flowers, as by doing good we cultivate those that belong to humanity.”
“Against the day of sorrowLay by some trifling thingA smile, a kiss, a flower,For sweet remembering”
“Every day isn’t going to be a good one. Even flowers need as much rain as they do sunshine. You’re a flower, embrace the rain.”
“This life of ours...human life is like a flower gloriously blooming in a meadow: along comes a goat, eats it up---no more flower.”
“Like flowers scattered in a storm, a man's life is a long farewell.”
