Stem Canker

Famous quotes containing the words stem and/or canker:

    The lotus’ stem is as long as the depth of water,
    So men’s height is just as great as their inner strength.

    First try all other means, but if the wound
    Heal not, then use the knife, lest to the clean
    From the diseased the canker spread.
