The smallest flower is a thought, a life answering to some feature of the Great Whole, of whom they have a persistent intuition.

Honoré de Balzac

This bud of love, by summer's ripening breath, May prove a beauteous flower when next we meet.

William Shakespeare

No man can taste the fruits of autumn while he is delighting his scent with the flowers of spring.

Samuel Johnson

Kind hearts are the gardens, Kind thoughts are the roots, Kind words are the flowers, Kind deeds are the fruits, Take care of your garden And keep out the weeds, Fill it with sunshine, Kind words, and Kind deeds.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Keep love in your heart. A life without it is like a sunless garden when the flowers are dead. The consciousness of loving and being loved brings a warmth and a richness to life that nothing else can bring.

Oscar Wilde

That though the radiance which was once so bright be now forever taken from my sight. Though nothing can bring back the hour of splendor in the grass, glory in the flower. We will grieve not, rather find strength in what remains behind.

William Wordsworth
