Quote by Thomas Nash

Beauty is but a flower, which wrinkles will devour.

Beauty is but a flower, which wrinkles will devour.

Summary

This quote emphasizes the transient nature of beauty. It suggests that beauty, similar to a delicate flower, is fragile and temporary. Just as flowers eventually wither and get consumed by the passage of time, the same applies to physical beauty. Wrinkles symbolize the inevitable effects of aging and remind us that physical attractiveness is fleeting. The quote serves as a reminder to focus on inner qualities and personal growth, as they are more enduring and valuable than fleeting external appearances.
