Rose Tree

Famous quotes containing the words rose and/or tree:

    Go, pretty child, and bear this flower
    Unto thy little Saviour;
    And tell Him, by that bud now blown,
    He is the Rose of Sharon known.
    Robert Herrick (1591–1674)

    It is, I fear, but a vain show of fulfilling the heathen precept, “Know thyself,” and too often leads to a self-estimate which will subsist in the absence of that fruit by which alone the quality of the tree is made evident.
    George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
