When life is not a bed of roses, remember who wore the thorns.—Marigina Bruno

They stripped him and put a scarlet robe on him, and then twisted together a crown of thorns and set it on his head. They put a staff in his right hand. Then they knelt in front of him and mocked him. “Hail, king of the Jews!” they said. (Matthew 27:28-29 NIV)
