At every step the child should be allowed to meet the real experience of life; the thorns should never be plucked from his roses.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Truths and roses have thorns about them.
But he that dares not grasp the thorn Should never crave the rose.
You cannot show people only the petals and not the thorns. It's not fair to them.
If you enjoy the fragrance of a rose, you must accept the thorns which it bears.
As the lily among thorns, so is my love among the daughters.
The flower which is single need not envy the thorns that are numerous.
Only in art will the lion lie down with the lamb, and the rose grow without the thorn.
And the heart that is soonest awake to the flowers is always the first to be touch'd by the thorns.
And he repents in thorns that sleeps in beds of roses.
He that sows thorns should never go barefoot.
