The lothus flower blooms in mud
 
Roses have thorns only for those that want to pick them                   
                                            (Chinese sayings)

Being overwhelmed by the scent of flowers
is a sweet defeat
                                            (Beverly Nichols)

Il respiro dei fiori è tanto più dolce nel vento...che nelle mani.                     
                                          (Francesco Bacone)

In emerald tufts,flowers purple,blue and white;
like sapphire,pearl and rich embroidery,
buckled below fair knighthood's bending knee:
Fairies use flowers for their charactery
                                            (William Shakespeare)

I know a bank where wild thyme blows,
where oxlips and the nodding violet grows;
quite overcanopied with lush woodbine,
with sweet musk-roses,and with englantine:there sleeps Titania some time of the night, Lull'd in these flowers with dances and delight;
