Nobody can keep on being angry if she looks into the heart of a pansy for a little while.

About This Quote

The pansy is one of the most delicate flowers. It has a tendency to be easily insulted and lets out its anger quite often. The pansy is also known as the pansy flower for this very reason. Many people have been known to punch a pansy in the face because of how quickly they let their anger spill out after being insulted.

However, those who have been able to get a little look into a pansy’s heart would not punch the flower as much as they would want to. In this quote, our author urges us to not let our anger spill out so readily because what we see in a pansy’s heart will cause us to change our mind about them entirely.
