Quote

The rose and the thorn, and sorrow and gladness are linked together.

If you enjoy the fragrance of a rose, you must accept the thorns which it bears.

At every step the child should be allowed to meet the real experience of life; the thorns should never be plucked from his roses.

And he repents in thorns that sleeps in beds of roses.

Some people are always grumbling because roses have thorns; I am thankful that thorns have roses.

Only in art will the lion lie down with the lamb, and the rose grow without thorn.

And the heart that is soonest awake to the flowers is always the first to be touch'd by the thorns.

The sharp thorn often produces delicate roses.

Only in art will the lion lie down with the lamb, and the rose grow without the thorn.

You cannot show people only the petals and not the thorns. It's not fair to them.
