Flower Constancy

Famous quotes containing the words flower and/or constancy:

“Slavery and servility have produced no sweet-scented flower annually, to charm the senses of men, for they have no real life: they are merely a decaying and a death, offensive to all healthy nostrils. We do not complain that they live, but that they do not get buried. Let the living bury them; even they are good for manure.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“The constancy of the wise is nothing else but the knack of concealing their passion and trouble.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
