“Pull the thorn of existence out of the heart! Fast!For when you do, you will see thousands of rose gardens in yourself.”
“The gardener uses both roses in the flowerbed and thorns in making fences.”
“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.”
“you can complain because roses have thorns or you can rejoice because thorns have roses.”
“It is a rose planted in your heart, and as it's thorns tear you, so does it thrive and flower”
