From the "Flowers" chapter of the Dhammapada.
But me no pictures to support, only cut & paste.
51. Like a beautiful flower full of colour but without fragrance, even so, fruitless are the fair words of one who does not practice them.
51. 犹如鲜妙花，色美而无香，如是说善语，彼不行无果。
52. Like a beautiful flower full of colour and also fragrant, even so, fruitful are the fair words of one who practices them.
52. 犹如鲜妙花，色美而芳香，如是说善语，彼实行有果。
53. As from a great heap of flowers many garlands can be made, even so should many good deeds be done by one born a mortal.
53. 如从诸花聚，得造众花鬘，如是生为人，当作诸善事。
54. Not the sweet smell of flowers, not even the fragrance of sandal, tagara or jasmine blows against the wind. But the fragrance of the virtuous blows against the wind. Truly, virtuous pervades all directions with the fragrance of his virtue.
54. 花香不逆风，栴檀.多伽罗，末利香亦尔。德香逆风薰， 彼正人之香，遍闻于诸方。
55.Of all the fragrances -- sandal, tagara, blue lotus and jasmine -the fragrance of virtue is by far the sweetest.
55. 栴檀.多伽罗.拔悉基.青莲，如是诸香中，戒香为最上。
