It is with flowers as with moral qualities; the bright are sometimes poisonous; but, I believe, never the sweet.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The flower that smells the sweetest is shy and lowly.
The sweet quality is set opposite to the bitter, and is a gracious, amiable, blessed and pleasant quality, a refreshing of the life, an allaying of the fierceness. It maketh all pleasant and friendly in every creature; it maketh the vegetables of the earth fragrant and of good taste, affording fair, yellow, white and ruddy colours.
In the midst of the fountain of wit there arises something bitter, which stings in the very flowers.
Sweet is the memory of distant friends! Like the mellow rays of the departing sun, it falls tenderly, yet sadly, on the heart.
Sweeter than the perfume of roses is a reputation for a kind, charitable, unselfish nature; a ready disposition to do to others any good turn in your power.
From the very fountain of enchantment there arises a taste of bitterness to spread anguish amongst the flowers.
Flowers are the sweetest things God ever made and forgot to put a soul into.
Every flower is a soul blossoming in nature.
Mother Nature is not sweet.
Sweet are the uses of adversity which, like the toad, ugly and venomous, wears yet a precious jewel in his head.
