Snowflakes are one of nature’s most fragile things, but just look what they can do when they stick together. – Vista M. Kelly

The heavy rain beat down the tender branches of vine and jessamine, and trampled on them in its fury; and when the lightning gleamed, it showed the tearful leaves shivering and cowering together at the window, and tapping at it urgently, as if beseeching to be sheltered from the dismal night. – Charles Dickens, Martin Chuzzlewit, Chapter XLIII

The best thing one can do when it’s raining is to let it rain. – Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
