The Earth Laughs in Flowers


You must not know too much or be too precise or scientific about birds and trees and flowers. . . a certain free-margin, even vagueness -- ignorance, credulity -- helps your enjoyment. ~Thoreau

One of the most attractive things about the flowers is their beautiful reserve. ~Thoreau


If the day and the night are such that you greet them with joy, and life emits a fragrance like flowers and the sweet scented herbs, is more elastic, more starry, more immortal -- that it your success. All nature is your congratulations. ~Thoreau

Never lose an opportunity of seeing anything that is beautiful; for beauty is God's handwriting -- a wayside sacrament. Welcome it in every fair face, in every fair sky, in every fair flower, and thanks God for it as a cup of blessing. ~Emerson


Flowers are a proud assertion that a ray of beauty out values all the utilities of the world. ~Emerson
