Famous quotes containing the words facing and/or flowers:
“And how can man die better
Than facing fearful odds,
For the ashes of his fathers,
And the temples of his Gods?”

May bloom in prison air;
The shard, the pebble, and the flint,
Are what they give us there:
For flowers have been known to heal
A common man’s despair.”
