Famous quotes containing the words flower and/or class:

    A mortal, born of woman, few of days and full of trouble, comes up like a flower and withers, flees like a shadow and does not last.
    Bible: Hebrew, Job 14:1.

    The Americans never use the word peasant, because they have no idea of the class which that term denotes; the ignorance of more remote ages, the simplicity of rural life, and the rusticity of the villager have not been preserved among them; and they are alike unacquainted with the virtues, the vices, the coarse habits, and the simple graces of an early stage of civilization.
    Alexis de Tocqueville (1805–1859)
