When you look at a rose try to focus on its beauty, not its thorns.
~ Matshona Dhliwayo
Anyone can love a rose, but only a saint can love its thorns.
Roses have thorns,’ we whine. When thorns of life entwine. Simple things can bring solace to heart-Things everyone take for granted-Like tending beds of fragile roses-with heart full of scars
~ Val Uchendu
A flower in a desert still has no reason to envy a thorn in a rainforest.
Thorns do not keep a rose from blooming, neither should obstacles keep you from success.
