“A bud is a flower-to-be. A flower in waiting. Waiting for just the right warmth and care to open up. It's a little fist of love waiting to unfold and be seen by the world. And that's you.”

“I've waited a long time to show these flowers how pretty you are.”

“It was the patient, cut-flower sound of a man who is waiting to die.”

“Don't wait until people are dead to give them flowers.”

“The world’s been waiting, they’ve been
waiting for years
And they’ve just gotta hear it
The kids are waiting, they’ve been shedding tears
So open your arms and sing for us”

“God waits to win back his own flowers as gifts from man's hands.”

“Don't wait, don't waste, don’t tarry until the flowers have gone away!”

“I woke up this morning and fell out of bed;
Trouble waiting to happen.
Should've quit while I was ahead;
Trouble waiting to happen.
I turned on the news to the Third World War,
Opened up the paper to World War IV.
Just when I thought it was safe to be bored,
Trouble waiting to happen.”

“If you have patience, then you'll also have love. Patience leads to love. If you forcefully open the petals of a bud, you won't be able to enjoy its beauty and fragrance. Only when it blossoms by following its natural course, will the beauty and fragrance of a flower unfold.”

“So plant your own gardens and decorate your own soul, instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers.”
