Still sweet with blossoms is the year's fresh prime.
Difficulty is the nurse of greatness.
Adversity is the nurse of greatness which roughly rocks her patients back to health.
The February sunshine steeps your boughs and tints the buds and swells the leaves within.
Winning isn't everything, but it beats anything in second place.
Thou blossom bright with autumn dew, And colored with the heaven's own blue.
