The Rose

Famous quotes containing the word rose:

    —But he, grim grinning King,
    Who caitiffs scorns, and doth the blest surprise,
    Late having deck’d with beauty’s rose his tomb,
    Disdains to crop a weed, and will not come.
    William Drummond, of Hawthornden (1585–1649)

    The final event to himself has been, that as he rose like a rocket, he fell like the stick.
    Thomas Paine (1737–1809)
