A mother’s love is more beautiful than any fresh flower.
I like perfume and flowers.
The flowery style is not unsuitable to public speeches or addresses which amount only to compliment. The lighter beauties are in their place when there is nothing more solid to say but the flowery style ought to be banished from a pleading a sermon or a didactic work.
What made women's labour particularly attractive to the capitalists was not only its lower price but also the greater submissiveness of women.
And so whether they came here on the Mayflower on a slave ship or on an airplane from Havana we are all descendants of the men and women who built here the nation that saved the world.
It's so clear that you have to cherish everyone. I think that's what I get from these older black women that every soul is to be cherished that every flower Is to bloom.
No party has a monopoly on wisdom. No democracy works without compromise. But when Governor Romney and his allies in Congress tell us we can somehow lower our deficit by spending trillions more on new tax breaks for the wealthy - well you do the math. I refuse to go along with that. And as long as I'm President I never will.
A wedding is just like a funeral except that you get to smell your own flowers.

Nobody sees a flower really it is so small. We haven't time and to see takes time - like to have a friend takes time.
Mama was my greatest teacher a teacher of compassion love and fearlessness. If love is sweet as a flower then my mother is that sweet flower of love.
The only reason I would stay away from a period piece is because sometimes the women are painted in a very stereotypical weakling wallflower way - that's something I don't want to do. I want to show strength in the women I play and a journey of some sort.
My strength never came from political echelons it came from the family. And from the fields and the lands and the flowers and everything I see there. My strength came from there.
I was born on a farm. My strength has nothing to do with political apparatus. I get my strength from nature from flowers.
