"One of the most tragic things I know

about human nature

We are all dreaming 

of some magical rose garden

over the horizon

instead of enjoying the roses that are blooming

outside our windows today."

- Dale Carnegie

"I want to encourage women to embrace
their own uniqueness.
Because just like a rose is beautiful,
so is a sunflower,
so is a peony.
I mean, all flowers are beautiful
in their own way,
and that's like women too."

- Miranda Kerr
