You came to tell us that the great cities are in favour of the gold standard; we reply that the great cities rest upon our broad and fertile plains. Burn down your cities and leave our farms, and your cities will spring up again as if by magic. But destroy out farms and the grass will grow in the city...You shall not press down upon the brow of labour this crown of thorns. You shall not crucify mankind upon a cross of gold.

I can alter my life by altering my attitude. He who would have nothing to do with thorns must never attempt to gather flowers. Henry David Thoreau
Through the mosses bare, they have planted thorn-trees for pleasure here and there. If any man so daring as dig them up in spite, He shall find their sharpest thorns in his bed at night. William Allingham
Anne Bronte quote: "But he who dares not grasp the thorn Should never crave the rose."

G. I. Gurdjieff quote: "With thorns in the inner world there will always be roses in..."
With thorns in the inner world there will always be roses in the outer world, in law-able compensation. G. I. Gurdjieff
Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, exhibit number one is what the seraphs, the misinformed, simple, noble-winged seraphs, envied. Look at this tangle of thorns. Vladimir Nabokov
