Earth's Little Sunburst

The flower which is single need not envy 

the thorns that are numerous.
~Rabindranath Tagore

A weed is no more than a flower in disguise,
Which is seen through at once, 

if love give a man eyes.
~James Russell Lowell

That though the radiance which was once 

so bright be now forever taken from my sight. Though nothing can bring back the hour of splendor in the grass, glory in the flower. We will grieve not,
rather find strength in what remains behind.
~William Wordsworth

A flower cannot blossom without sunshine,
and man cannot live without love.
~Max Muller
