Flowers I

49. As a bee gathering nectar
    does not harm or disturb
    the colour and fragrance of the flower,
    so do the wise move
    through the world.

50. As a beautiful flower
    without fragrance is disappointing,
    so are wise words
    without right action.

51. As a beautiful flower
    with a delightful fragrance is pleasing,
    so is wise and lovely speech
    when matched with right action.
