Earth laughs in flowers. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson



To be overcome by the fragrance of flowers is a delectable form of defeat.
~Beverly Nichols



Flowers seem intended for the solace of ordinary humanity. ~John Ruskin



Flowers really do intoxicate me. ~Vita Sackville-West



Bread feeds the body, indeed, but flowers feed also the soul. ~The Koran



Break open a cherry tree and there are no flowers, but the spring breeze brings forth myriad blossoms. ~Ikkyu Sojun



When you have only two pennies left in the world, buy a loaf of bread with one, and a lily with the other. ~Chinese Proverb



God is the experience of looking at a tree and saying, "Ah!"
