Evidence (2021-12-15): The first time I came across this quote it was written in my native language with no quotations. I later realized the translation was also a bit poor, but the essence somehow didn’t get lost. Strangely enough, the more I re-read it and the more I look into it, I discover new insights. When I googled it to find out who these words belonged to, I was surprised at the fact that their interpretation was narrowed down to two possible outlooks one can have on life: optimistic and pessimistic. [...] For instance, someone can look at a rose, notice the thorns, acknowledge that they may injure themselves and not really care, because its perfume is strong enough to take their mind off all the possibilities that could happen if they touched it. In other words, the person uses more of their senses in order to be able to capture what the rose can offer, not allowing a minor aspect, such as thorns, to distract them.

Claim: Claims that President Abraham Lincoln once stated, "We can complain because rose bushes have thorns, or rejoice because thorn bushes have roses." (Viral Quote, 2019-08-10)
Evidence (2010-07-07): In life, we often focus on the thorns, the difficulties, the problems. We talk about the prickly part of our day and what went wrong. It makes for a more sensational story which will hold the interest of our listeners. But, like the prick of a thorn, we re-experience the negative emotions and feel the pain anew as we recount our tale of woe. Stress chemicals get a second run at coursing through our depleted bodies. [...] Dwell on the roses of your life, forsake the thorns. Count your blessings, not your woes.

Claim: Claims that President Abraham Lincoln once stated, "We can complain because rose bushes have thorns, or rejoice because thorn bushes have roses." (Viral Quote, 2019-08-10)
Evidence (2024-01-10): This quote is a profound metaphor about perception and attitude. It suggests that our experience of life is largely determined by our perspective. When we focus on the thorns of a rose bush, we see pain, struggle, and danger. However, when we focus on the roses, we see beauty, opportunity, and joy. It’s the same bush, but our experience of it changes dramatically based on our focus. The quote encourages us to shift our perspective from negative to positive. Instead of complaining about the hardships (thorns), we should appreciate the blessings (roses) that come with them. It’s about finding the silver lining in every situation, no matter how difficult it might seem. In today’s world, this quote is highly relevant. We often find ourselves in challenging situations – whether it’s dealing with a global pandemic, facing job loss, or struggling with personal issues. It’s easy to focus on the thorns – the difficulties, the negatives, and the problems. However, by shifting our focus to the roses – the learnings, the opportunities, and the positives – we can navigate these challenges more effectively and with a better mindset.

Evidence (2016-11-13): Yes, perspective. Life is all about perspective. Is the glass half full or half empty? Are you sad about the missed opportunities or happy for all of the opportunities that lie ahead in your future? There is such a difference in being a pessimist and an optimist. So as I stared into Abraham Lincoln’s eyes wondering what propelled him to make this quote, I began to think of our current President-Elect: Mr. Donald Trump. I know, this is what everyone is talking about. But that’s okay, because I am not going to sit here and complain, or talk about how unfair this whole thing is. I am going to look at that thorn bush and rejoice because it has roses! We, as a country, have never experienced such a shocking election. But you know what? It happened. And he’s going to be our next President. Did I vote for him? No. Do I like him? No. Am I going to give him a chance? Yes. Our dear Donald cannot be shot down before even given the chance to fly. Everyone deserves a chance to prove the doubters wrong, so that is what I am going to give him.

Evidence (2020-09-03): Roses with thorns have long been a symbol of adversity, as well as sacrifice. In Oscar Wilde's famous work, "The Nightingale and the Rose," a nightingale pierces its breast on a rose thorn so the lover may have a red rose for his beloved. The growths on roses are technically prickles, not thorns. Thorns are hard woody outgrowths of branches, such as cactus and trees, according to the American Rose Society, while prickles are soft growths. Roses evolved with prickles as a protective adaptation. Rose prickles may curve downward to prevent animals from climbing and eating them. Other members of the Rosacea family, such as blackberries and raspberries, also have prickles. - Roses with thorns have long been a symbol of adversity, as well as sacrifice.

Evidence (2015-02-26): Abraham Lincoln's gave a speech, which is now called "Lincoln’s Lost Speech" at Major’s Hall in Bloomington (previously at the corner of East and Front Street) on May 29, 1856. The speech was given at the Anti-Nebraska convention and addressed his strong disapproval of slavery. The reasons for why it was "lost" are not clear. There are no notes from reporters of his speech and only a mention of his speech was given in the newspaper. Some say reporters were so engaged by Lincoln’s words that they forgot to take notes, while others claim his words were so controversial, media reports could not be given. But what is clear is that what Lincoln said during his speech was very moving and gave him a huge boost in his campaign.

Evidence (2024-03-05): One thing about roses, they all do have thorns. [...] To expand on roses, Lent, and Lincoln, we need to see where he found his inspiration. While Lincoln never really declared himself a devout Christian, he did praise the tenets that were put forth from the Bible. Where did he find the inspiration for the words that he spoke about a house divided? From Jesus himself. Jesus was brought to a demon possessed young man. He prayed for the young man and cast out the demons. After that miracle, the religious sects attacked him as a demon casting out demons. Rather than seeing that this young man was relieved and healed. They saw the thorns and complained about those prickly thorny buggers to anyone that would listen. In other words, they saw the thorns rather than the roses. [...] How often do we look at a person or life even and react with judgment or skepticism like we read above? Or, do we take a moment and see that rose that brings us together in the midst of thorns? Lent is the perfect opportunity to grow closer to the character of God through an understanding and teachable spirit. Much like Lincoln, I don’t want a divided house. I bet a lot of folks don’t want that either. When we see any given situation we have the choice to see the thorns on the rose bushes or the roses in the thorn bushes. This change in thinking can bring a firmer foundation to a house that can stand.

Evidence (2017-07-03): We need to move beyond frustration or any other negative emotion/feeling and can do so by: [...] LOOKING FOR THE POSITIVE. Laura Ingalls Wilder (an American writer known for the Little House on the Prairie series) wrote, "There is good in everything, if only we look for it." There IS a positive aspect in everything. In every person, in every situation, there is something good. Much of the time it may not be obvious. We have to look. And sometimes we have to look hard. When faced with a frustrating, difficult or challenging situation, we need to ask "What is good about this?" Consider Abraham Lincoln’s (American politician and lawyer who served as the 16th President of the United States) thoughts: "We can complain because rose bushes have thorns, or rejoice because thorn bushes have roses." [...] If frustration begins to take hold when we are dealing with change we need to not let it stop our forward movement. We need to call upon our strong self to help move us beyond frustration. We need to control our reaction, refuse to quit, believe everything will be OK, be open to the possibilities in whatever is creating the frustration, and remain optimistic. We also need to activate our support system, talking things through with them. And, if we focus on the positives in the situation we will be able to see ‘the beauty of the roses despite the thorns on the bushes.’
