Quote

The fragrance of flowers spreads only in the direction of the wind. But the goodness of a person spreads in all directions.

No spring nor summer beauty hath such grace as I have seen in one autumnal face.

Little things seem nothing, but they give peace, like those meadow flowers which individually seem odorless but all together perfume the air.

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

A flower cannot blossom without sunshine, and man cannot live without love.

Sweet April showers do spring May flowers.

Virtues, like essences, lose their fragrance when exposed.

Just as a flower which seems beautiful and has color but no perfume, so are the fruitless words of the man who speaks them but does them not.

The dawn is not distant, nor is the night starless; love is eternal.
