Quotations
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. ? Grigoris Deoudis But he who dares
not grasp the thorn Should never crave the
rose. ? Anne Brontë Love is like the wild
rose-briar Friendship like the holly-tree. The
holly is dark when the rose-briar blooms, But
which will bloom most constantly? ? Emily Bronte
