Roman - Poet

Often the prickly thorn produces tender roses.

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

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

Things are simply the way they are. They don't give us suffering. Like a thorn: Does a sharp thorn give us suffering? No. It's simply a thorn. It doesn't give suffering to anybody. If we step on it, we suffer immediately. Why do we suffer? Because we stepped on it. So the suffering comes from us.

Ajahn Chah

When the roses are gone, nothing is left but the thorn.

Ovid

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

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

Rose is in red, But never in blue, Sharp as a thorn, Fights like one too.

Richelle Mead

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

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

Lecrae

Conflict sometimes produces results, but more often than not it produces confusion at the level of everybody on the same track.

Ciaran Hinds

Do not keep company with a fool for as we can see he is a two-legged beast. Like an unseen thorn he pierces the heart with his sharp words.

Chanakya

Activity in politics also produces eager competition and sharp rivalry.

John George Nicolay

Some people are near- or farsighted - I'm thorn-sighted. The thorns on the rose are in really sharp definition for me, the rose petals a little fuzzier.

Danny Meyer

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

Abraham Lincoln
