Flower Constancy

Famous quotes containing the words flower and/or constancy:

““Fenced early in this cloistral round
Of reverie, of shade, of prayer,
How should we grow in other ground?
How can we flower in foreign air?
MPass, banners, pass, and bugles, cease;
And leave our desert to its peace!””
—Matthew Arnold (1822–1888)

“The constancy of the wise is nothing else but the knack of concealing their passion and trouble.”
