Quotes for: spring


Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower.





Love is a springtime plant that perfumes everything with its hope.





As is the generation of leaves, so is that of humanity.
The wind scatters the leaves on the ground, but the live timber
Burgeons with leaves again in the season of spring returning.
So one generation of men will grow while another dies.

Homer - Iliad / 





If a man cannot enjoy the return of spring, why should he be happy in a labour-saving Utopia? What will he do with the leisure that the machine will give him?





The only thing that could spoil a day was people. People were always the limiters of happiness except for the very few that were as good as spring itself.
