Time Bubbles

Famous quotes containing the words time and/or bubbles:

    These roses under my window make no reference to former roses or to better ones; they are for what they are; they exist with God to-day. There is no time to them. There is simply the rose; it is perfect in every moment of its existence.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Give fools their gold, and knaves their power;
    Let fortune’s bubbles rise and fall;
    Who sows a field, or trains a flower,
    Or plants a tree, is more than all.
    John Greenleaf Whittier (1807–1892)
