Trees are poems that earth writes upon the sky,
We fell them down and turn them into paper,
That we may record our emptiness.
Kahlil Gibran
A tree uses what comes its way to nurture itself. By sinking its roots deeply into the earth, by accepting the rain that flows towards it, by reaching out to the sun, the tree perfects its character and becomes great. ... Absorb, absorb, absorb. That is the secret of the tree.
Deng Ming-Dao, Everyday Tao
A seed hidden in the heart of an apple is an orchard invisible.
Welsh Proverb
Who leaves the pine-tree, leaves his friend,
Unnerves his strength, invites his end.
Ralph Waldo Emerson, "Woodnotes"
If trees could scream, would we be so cavalier about cutting them down? We might, if they screamed all the time, for no good reason.
Jack Handey
There is always Music amongst the trees in the Garden, but our hearts must be very quiet to hear it.
Minnie Aumonier
I speak for the trees, for the trees have no tongues.
Dr. Seuss, “The Lorax”
Keep a green tree in your heart and perhaps a singing bird will come.
Chinese proverb
Sometimes Thou may'st walk in
which being full of Majestie will much advance the Soul.
Thomas Vaughan, “Anima Magica Abscondita
He who plants a tree loves others beside himself.
English proverb
The best friend on Earth of man is the tree. When we use the tree respectfully and economically, we have one of the greatest resources of the Earth.
Frank Lloyd Wright
Even if I knew that tomorrow the world would go to pieces, I would still plant my apple tree.
Martin Luther
The best part of happiness is the pines.
The
Red Jellyfish
If what I say resonates with you, it is merely because we are both branches on the same tree.
W. B. Yeats
