A garden to walk in and immensity to dream in - what more could he ask? A few flowers at his feet and above him the stars.
When you have only two pennies left in the world, buy a loaf of bread with one, and a lily with the other.
I will be the gladdest thing under the sun! I will touch a hundred flowers and not pick one.
Flowers... are a proud assertion that a ray of beauty outvalues all the utilities in the world.
Every flower about a house certifies to the refinement of somebody. Every vine climbing and blossoming tells of love and joy.
