Quote by Edward George BulwerLytton

Love thou the rose, yet leave it on its stem.

Love thou the rose, yet leave it on its stem.

Summary

This quote suggests that one should appreciate and love something for what it naturally is, rather than trying to possess or change it. Just like a rose, love should be admired from a distance, allowing it to grow and flourish on its own. It emphasizes the importance of letting things be, respecting their individuality and appreciating their inherent beauty without attempting to control or manipulate them. True love involves accepting and cherishing something or someone for who they are, without any sort of possessiveness or desire for alteration.
