“Among the flowers no perfume is like mine; That which is best in me comes from within. So those in this world who would rise and shine Should seek internal excellence to win.

All is fair When they are gone and nought remains behind.” WorldShouldMindStillsWinningNamesBehindsGoneThis WorldMinesFlowerBearsDespairFairsRemainsShiningExcellenceInternalsFalsehoodPerfume Author:Charles Godfrey Leland
