Flower Quote by Albert Kang
“Does the rose complain that it is created for a short time to blossom, smile at the world, share its sweet fragrance and ultimately wither away? Does it refuse to be a rose just because of its extremely short life? Who are you supposed to be in this life and are you maximizing your life?”
