Quote by Ambrose Philips

The flowers anew, returning seasons bring! But beauty faded has no second spring.

The flowers anew, returning seasons bring! But beauty faded

Summary

This quote highlights the cyclical nature of life and emphasizes the transient nature of beauty. It suggests that just as flowers bloom and wither with passing seasons, beauty too fades with time and cannot be restored like the regrowth of new flowers in the following spring. It conveys the idea that one should appreciate and cherish beauty while it lasts, as it is not guaranteed to have a second chance or a second bloom.

LAW 38Think As You Like But Behave Like OthersIf you make a show of going against the times, flaunting your unconventional ideas and unorthodox ways, people will think that you only want attention and that you look down upon them. They will find a way to punish you for making them feel inferior. It is far safer to blend in and nurture the common touch. Share your originality only with tolerant friends and those who are sure to appreciate your uniqueness.
