The rose and the thorn, and sorrow and gladness are linked together.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Truths and roses have thorns about them.
If you enjoy the fragrance of a rose, you must accept the thorns which it bears.
The sharp thorn often produces delicate roses.
In real life, unlike in Shakespeare, the sweetness of the rose depends upon the name it bears. Things are not only what they are. They are, in very important respects, what they seem to be.
Only in art will the lion lie down with the lamb, and the rose grow without thorn.
Rose is a rose is a rose is a rose.
And the heart that is soonest awake to the flowers is always the first to be touch'd by the thorns.
The rose is the flower and handmaiden of love - the lily, her fair associate, is the emblem of beauty and purity.
And he repents in thorns that sleeps in beds of roses.
Only in art will the lion lie down with the lamb, and the rose grow without the thorn.
