Ovid
Roman - Poet
43 BC - 17 AD

In the embers shining bright A garden grows for thy delight, With roses yellow, red, and white. But, O my child, beware, beware! Touch not the roses growing there, For every rose a thorn doth bear.

Richard Watson Gilder

A thorn in the flesh is nothing compared to a thorn in the conscience.

Adrian Rogers

My God, I have never thanked Thee for my 'thorn!' I have thanked Thee a thousand times for my roses, but never once for my 'thorn;' I have been looking forward to a world where I shall get compensation for my cross as itself a present glory. Teach me the glory of my cross; teach me the value of my 'thorn.' Show me that I have climbed to Thee by the path of pain. Show me that my tears have made my rainbow.

George Matheson

The sharp thorn often produces delicate roses.

Ovid

Often the prickly thorn produces tender roses.

Ovid

Let opening roses knotted oaks adorn, And liquid amber drop from every thorn.

Alexander Pope

Think of your pain like a bunch of red roses, a beautiful thorn necklace. Everyone has one.

Francesca Lia Block

Have you ever seen a donkey smelling a beautiful rose? Donkeys aren't interested in roses, they like thorn bushes or watermelon rinds!

Mehmet Murat Ildan

Anyway, it's gone. And there's nothing left in my pocket to charm you. So from now on it's going to have to be tears or nothing I'm afraid. That's all I've got left to tell you see: tears, tears, tears.

Clive Barker

Instead of complaining that the rose bush is full of thorns, be grateful the thorn bush has roses. Perspective.

Lecrae

Gone. Vanished. Nothing left. Nothing said.

Khaled Hosseini

I’m erased. I’m gone. I’m nothing. And then the world is free to flow into me like water into an empty bowl…. And… I see. I hear. But not with eyes and ears. I’m not outside my world anymore, and I’m not really inside it either. The thing is, there’s no difference between me and the universe. The boundary is gone. I am it and it is me. I am a stone, a cactus thorn. I am rain. I like that most of all, being rain.

Jerry Spinelli

The bird with the thorn in its breast, it follows an immutable law; it is driven by it knows not what to impale itself, and die singing. At the very instant the thorn enters there is no awareness in it of the dying to come; it simply sings and sings until there is not the life left to utter another note. But we, when we put the thorns in our breasts, we know. We understand. And still we do it. Still we do it.

Colleen McCullough

We can complain because rose bushes have thorns, or rejoice because thorn bushes have roses.

Abraham Lincoln

When a rose dies, a thorn is left behind.

Ovid

The studio was filled with the rich odour of roses, and when the light summer wind stirred amidst the trees of the garden, there came through the open door the heavy scent of the lilac, or the more delicate perfume of the pink-flowering thorn.

Oscar Wilde
