Good deeds are many, but good lives are few.
Observe this dew-drenched rose of Tyrian gardens A rose today. But you will ask in vain Tomorrow what it is; and yesterday It was the dust, the sunshine, and the rains.
A pin has a head, but has no hair
Flowers preach to us if we will hear.
Christmas hath a beauty ... lovelier than the world can show.
What are heavy? sea-sand and sorrow. What are brief? today and tomorrow. What are frail? spring blossoms and youth. What are deep? the ocean and truth.
