No rose without a thorn ~ French Proverb
It is the time you have spent on your rose that makes her so important ~ Antoine De Saint-Exupery
Truths and roses have thorns about them ~ Henry David Thoreau
The rose is a rose from the time it is a seed to the time it dies. Within it, at all times, it contains its whole potential. It seems to be constantly in the process of change: Yet at each state, at each moment, it is perfectly all right as it is ~ Paulo Coelho
If the rose puzzled its mind over the question of how it grew, it would not have been the miracle that it is ~ J. B. Yeats
