“Flowers leave some of their fragrance in the hand that bestows them”
Chinese Proverbs

Chanakya

Lena Horne
“The fragrance always stays in the hand that gives the rose.”
George William Curtis
“A bit of fragrance always clings to the hand that gives you roses.”
Proverb
“A perfectly healthy sentence, it is true, is extremely rare. For the most part we miss the hue and fragrance of the thought; as if we could be satisfied with the dews of the morning or evening without their colors, or the heavens without their azure.”
Henry David Thoreau
“Virtues, like essences, lose their fragrance when exposed.”
William Shenstone
