Whitest Flower

Famous quotes containing the words whitest and/or flower:

    No might nor greatness in mortality
    Can censure scape; back-wounding calumny
    The whitest virtue strikes. What king so strong
    Can tie the gall up in the slanderous tongue?
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Gather ye rose-buds while ye may,
    Old Time is still a-flying:
    And this same flower that smiles to-day,
    To-morrow will be dying.
    Robert Herrick (1591–1674)
