“Wild roses have fragile blossoms; they may not have the overpowering beauty of their cultivated cousins, but they possess a subtle headiness and hidden attributes, that to the careful gardener may come shining through in fleeting moments.”

“I am responsible. Although I may not be able to prevent the worst from happening, I am responsible for my attitude toward the inevitable misfortunes that darken life. Bad things do happen; how I respond to them defines my character and the quality of my life. I can choose to sit in perpetual sadness, immobilized by the gravity of my loss, or I can choose to rise from the pain and treasure the most precious gift I have – life itself.”
Walter Anderson
“You never lose by loving. You always lose by holding back.”

Arthur Rubinstein
“Life is the flower for which love is the honey.”
Victor Hugo
“When you choose to love as God loves, it will never be safe....but it will set you free.”
Janet Larson
“Keep love in your heart. A life without it is like a sunless garden when the flowers are dead.”
Oscar Wilde
