CALLAWAY GARDENS PART 2




Callaway Gardens


Nothing can beat the smell of dew and flowers and the odor that comes out of the earth when the sun goes down-Ethel Waters  


 


Stretching his hand up to reach the stars, too often man forgets the flowers at his feet-Jeremy Bentham 

 

 

The sun does not shine for a few trees and flowers, but for the wide world's joy. 



There are always flowers for those who want to see them-Henri Matisse






We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature - trees, flowers, grass- grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence... We need silence to be able to touch souls-Mother Teresa 




What sunshine is to flowers, smiles are to humanity. These are but trifles, to be sure; but scattered along life's pathway, the good they do is inconceivable. 





'Tis my faith that every flower Enjoys the air it breathes!~William Wordsworth




Flowers seem intended for the solace of ordinary humanity~John Ruskin

























The 'Amen!' of Nature is always a flower-Oliver Wendell Holmes   

‎Flower in the crannied wall,
I pluck you out of the crannies,
I hold you here, root and all, in my hand,
Little flower—but if I could understand
What you are, root and all, all in all,
...I should know what God and man is.
Alfred Lord Tennyson






Give me odorous at sunrise a garden of beautiful flowers where I can walk undisturbed~Walt Whitman






Art is the unceasing effort to compete with the beauty of flowers-and never succeeding-Gian Carlo Menotti 










It is at the edge of a petal that love waits-William Carlos Williams










The artist is the confidant of nature, flowers carry on dialogues with him through the graceful bending of their stems and the harmoniously tinted nuances of their blossoms. Every flower has a cordial word which nature directs towards him-Auguste Rodin



The flower that smells the sweetest is shy and lowly-William Wordsworth



‎I have a suspicion that the pictures on seed packets are posed by professional flowers-Denis Norden







Flowers, leaves, fruit, are the air-woven children of light-Moleschott



Let your children be as so many flowers, borrowed from God-Samuel Rutherford







Who would have thought it possible that a tiny little flower could preoccupy a person so completely that there simply wasn't room for any other thought-Sophie Scholl 



For myself I hold no preferences among flowers, so long as they are wild, free, spontaneous~Edward Abbey







Plants cry their gratitude for the sun in green joy~Astrid Alauda
