Flowers have spoken to me more than I can tell in written words. They are the hieroglyphics of angels, loved by all men for the beauty of the character, though few can decipher even fragments of their meaning. – Lydia M. Child

If a man is not rising upwards to be an angel, depend upon it, he is sinking downwards to be a devil. – Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Make yourself familiar with the angels, and behold them frequently in spirit; for, without being seen, they are present with you. – St Francis of Sales
