Quote by Antonio Porchia

Flowers are without hope. Because hope is tomorrow and flowers have no tomorrow.

Flowers are without hope. Because hope is tomorrow and flowe

Summary

This quote suggests that flowers cannot have hope because hope exists in the concept of tomorrow, which flowers do not possess. Unlike humans, who can hope for a better future, flowers have a fleeting existence and symbolize the beauty and transience of life. Their lack of tomorrow implies that they live in the present moment, without any expectation or anticipation for what lies ahead. Thus, the quote illustrates the contrast between the temporal nature of flowers and the capacity for hope that resides in human beings.

Decisions that the President has to make often affect the lives of tens of millions of people around the world, but that does not mean that they should take longer to make. Some men can make decisions and some cannot. Some men fret and delay under criticism. I used to have a saying that applies here, and I note that some people have picked it up, If you cant stand the heat, get out of the kitchen.
