Flowers.......

Flowers... are a proud assertion that a ray of beauty out values all the utilities of the world.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Walk tall and proud like a peacock.

In history, myths and legends the Peacock is said to symbolise  portents of: Nobility, Holiness, Guidance, Protection and Watchfulness.

Open Your Eyes

To be as proud as a peacock means to be excessively proud- to have an excessive pride in one's appearance, or show an excessively high opinion of oneself.
