Roses Quotes
Anthony Liccione
One can talk good and shower down roses, but it's the receiver that has to walk through the thorns, and all its false expectations.
4050Antoine De Saint-Exupéry
She cast her fragrance and her radiance over me. I ought never to have run away from her... I ought to have guessed all the affection that lay behind her poor little stratagems. Flowers are so inconsistent! But I was too young to know how to love her...
2493 H.L. Mencken
An idealist is one who, on noticing that a rose smells better than a cabbage, concludes that it makes a better soup.
2408 Scott Hastie
Every new day
Our children's joy is as fresh as roses,
Even the birds chatter at dawn.
2519 Patrick Rothfuss
Roses! I swear you men have all your romance from the same worn book. Flowers are a good thing, a sweet thing to give a lady. But it is always roses, always red, and always perfect hothouse blooms when they can come by them.
2242 Aberjhani
If I say your voice is an amber waterfall in which I yearn to burn each day, if you eat my mouth like a mystical rose with powers of healing and damnation, If I confess that your body is the only civilization I long to experience… would it mean that we are close to knowing something about love?
1687 Ana Castillo
Women Are Not Roses
Women have no
beginning
only continual
flows.
Though rivers flow
women are not
rivers.
Women are not
roses
they are not oceans
or stars.
i would like to tell
her this but
i think she
already knows.
3911 John Daniel Thieme
a few words spoken beneath the moon, love
may be, but I write your name
in the celestial dust that lingers
in the air, above
the veilchenblau roses, callow
and pale
4861 Bazil Patel
From all the roses I have smelled she was the rosiest
2274 John Daniel Thieme
. . .in your light, had I learned to love, here
in your beauty, could I speak
knowing of this space close within
as the breath held inside a garden rose, there -
there is no time.
1921 Anne Brontë
But he who dares not grasp the thorn
Should never crave the rose.
3279 Tupac Shakur
Did you hear about the rose that grew from a crack in the concrete? Proving nature's laws wrong, it learned to walk without having feet. Funny, it seems to by keeping it's dreams; it learned to breathe fresh air. Long live the rose that grew from concrete when no one else even cared.
4408 Juana Inés De La Cruz
Rosa que al prado, encarnada,
te ostentas presuntuosa
de grana y carmín bañada:
campa lozana y gustosa;
pero no, que siendo hermosa
tambien serás desdichada.
1119 L.F.Young
When life is not coming up roses
Look to the weeds
and find the beauty hidden within them.
1581 J. Aleksandr Wootton
Why are roses kept for their blossoms rather than shunned for their thorns?
1713 F. Scott Fitzgerald
Beauty and love pass, I know... Oh, there's sadness, too. I suppose all great happiness is a little sad. Beauty means the scent of roses and then the death of roses-
2837 Holly Lynn Payne
The only mistake you have made is asking the wrong question. It isn't about what you did wrong. It's what you have not yet done.
2707 Richard Paul Evans
I once read that love is like a rose: we fixate on the blossom, but it's the thorny stem that keeps it alive and aloft. I think marriage is like that. Like my father said, the things of greatest value are the things we fight for. And in the end, if we do it right, we value the stem far more than the blossom
3986 S.R. Ford
For every thorn is just as essential to the longevity of the plant as the blossoms.
3769 Grigoris Deoudis
Roses and thorns are parts of the same plant. Somehow though, some people are concerned mainly about the roses. The rose is not on the plant for more than a week, but the thorns are there forever.
Roses are teaching that the beauty of life will bloom, once you have taught yourself the lessons given by living with the thorns.
2771 Emily Brontë
Love is like the wild rose-briar; Friendship like the holly-tree. The holly is dark when the rose-briar blooms, but which will bloom most constantly?
4685 Ottilie Weber
Black,
The death of an old habit in order for a
new journey to start. The dark clouds
disappeared, chased away by the brilliant shine of your smile. So that I had the courage to be me once again…
~Riley
