A functioning robust democracy requires a healthy educated participatory followership and an educated morally grounded leadership.

Flowers are without hope. Because hope is tomorrow and flowers have no tomorrow.

I hope that I would be considered romantic. I don't know... one of my favorite movies is 'The Notebook' so I guess that would be considered romantic. But I think being romantic is more than the flowers and the gifts. It's about connecting with the person and being able to talk and share things with her.

Hope is the only bee that makes honey without flowers.

And I came back and it was great 'cuz George had set up all these flowers all over the studio saying welcome home. So then we got it together again. I always felt it was better on the White one for me. We were more like a band you know.

I had a go at changing history - maybe not all by myself - I fought at the battle of Normandy I slogged through the Ardennes and I celebrated the liberation of Paris on the streets with beautiful French girls throwing flowers at me. I said good-bye to my first true love and discovered what I really wanted to do with my life.

To me flowers are happiness.

Now I believe that lovers should be draped in flowers and laid entwined together on a bed of clover and left there to sleep left there to dream of their happiness.

Help us to be ever faithful gardeners of the spirit who know that without darkness nothing comes to birth and without light nothing flowers.

Of present fame think little and of future less the praises that we receive after we are buried like the flowers that are strewed over our grave may be gratifying to the living but they are nothing to the dead.

I'd never been in play long enough for the flowers to die in the dressing room.

Before the flowers of friendship faded friendship faded.

You cannot mistake Bush's clarity of purpose. He believes in a story about freedom and opportunity that makes his followers feel like they aren't just ticking their days down but are part of something larger than themselves.

I like doing food as a focal point on my table. It is not like going out and buying flowers or candles which are expensive.

I take care of my flowers and my cats. And enjoy food. And that's living.

Flowers always make people better happier and more helpful they are sunshine food and medicine for the soul.

I'm in that comfortable niche where I'm not that famous and sometimes people do need to put a barrier between them and their followers. When you're real famous you need to do that but I'm not that famous so I don't need that kind of barrier.

There is an overwhelming amount of information available to us all on the web each day not to mention what is shared with us by our family friends fans and followers. This necessitates the need to filter through all that information and to decide for ourselves where to put our attention.
