Tree Quotes

A human being sheds its leaves like a tree. Sickness prunes it down; and it no longer offers the same silhouette to the eyes which loved it, to the people to whom it afforded shade and comfort Picture Quote #1

The weakness of most men they do not know how to become a stone or tree Picture Quote #1

If an apple blossom or a ripe apple could tell its own story, it would be, still more than its own, the story of the sunshine that smiled upon it, of the winds that whispered to it, of the birds that sang around it, of the storms that visited it, and of the motherly tree that held it and fed it until its petals were unfolded and its form developed Picture Quote #1

Who wants to die? Everything struggles to live. Look at that tree growing up there out of that grating. It gets no sun, and water only when it rains. It’s growing out of sour earth. And it’s strong because its hard struggle to live is making it strong. My children will be strong that way Picture Quote #1

The tree that never had to fight for sun and sky and air and light but stood out in the open plain and always got it share of rain, never became a forest king but lived and died a scrubby thing. Good timber does not grow with ease. The stronger wind, the stronger trees Picture Quote #1

The more you move, the stronger you’ll grow, not like a tree that can be killed if you uproot it Picture Quote #1

I had grown up. I had learned that being a woman was knowing when to stand firm and when to compromise. I had learned to laugh and weep; I had learned that I was weak as well as strong. I had learned to love. I was no longer a rigid, upright tree that would not flex and bow, even though the gale threatened to snap it in two; I was the willow that bends and shivers and sways, and yet remains strong Picture Quote #1

When the last tree is cut, the last fish is caught, and the last river is polluted; when to breathe the air is sickening, you will realize, too late, that wealth is not in bank accounts and that you can’t eat money Picture Quote #1

Someone once told me that children are like kites. You struggle just to get them in the air; they crash; you add a longer tail. Then they get caught in a tree; you climb up and bring them down, and untangle the string; you run to get them aloft again. Finally, the kite is airborne, and it flies higher and higher, as you let out more string, until it’s so high in the sky, it looks like a bird. And if the string snaps, and you’ve done your job right, the kite will continue to soar in the wind, all by itself Picture Quote #1

Be more humble than a blade of grass, more tolerant than a tree, always offering respect onto others and never expecting any in return Picture Quote #1

A beaver does not, as legend would have it, know which direction the tree will fall when he cuts it, but counts on alacrity to make up for lack of engineering expertise Picture Quote #1

Then what shall I write? I can’t just write that this happened then this happened then this happened to boring infinitum. I’ll let my journal grow just like the mind does, just like a tree or beast does, just like life does. Why should a book tell a tale in a dull straight line? Words should wander and meander. They should fly like owls and flicker like bats and slip like cats. They should murmur and scream and dance and sing Picture Quote #1

I wake up in the morning asking myself what can I do today, how can I help the world today. I believe in what I do beyond a shadow of a doubt. I gave my word to this tree and to all the people that my feet would not touch the ground until I had done everything in my power to make the world aware of this problem and to stop the destruction Picture Quote #1

Give me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe Picture Quote #1

You mustn’t give your heart to a wild thing. The more you do, the stronger they get, until they’re strong enough to run into the woods or fly into a tree. And then to a higher tree and then to the sky Picture Quote #1

Many kinds of fruit grow upon the tree of life, but none so sweet as friendship; as with the orange tree its blossoms and fruit appear at the same time, full of refreshment for sense and for soul Picture Quote #1

We’re merely one tree with various types, shapes and sizes of leaves that all wave differently in the breeze Picture Quote #1

Somehow it just don’t seem fitting for a man to spend his wedding night in a tree Picture Quote #1

Be like a tree. The tree gives shade even to him who cuts off its boughs Picture Quote #1

Instinct must be thwarted just as one prunes the branches of a tree so that it will grow better Picture Quote #1

I got stuck up a tree when I was about seven, and my dad had to come and get the ladder to get me down. I loved to climb all the way up to the top. I must have been a koala in my past life Picture Quote #1

I know that in many things I am not like others, but I do not know what I really am like. Man cannot compare himself with any other creature; he is not a monkey, not a cow, not a tree. I am a man. But what is it to be that? Like every other being, I am a splinter of the infinite deity, but I cannot contrast myself with any animal, any plant or any stone. Only a mythical being has a range greater than man’s. How then can man form any definite opinions about himself? Picture Quote #1

That which interests me above all else is the calligraphy of a tree or the tiles of a roof, and I mean leaf by leaf, branch by branch, blade by blade of grass Picture Quote #1

The fruit does not make the tree good or bad but the tree itself is what determines the nature of the fruit. In the same way, a person first must be good or bad before doing a good or bad work Picture Quote #1

I came from a race of fishers; trout streams gurgled about the roots of my family tree Picture Quote #1

I worry about kids today not having time to build a tree house or ride a bike or go fishing. I worry that life is getting faster and faster Picture Quote #1

We always feel younger than we are. I carry inside myself my earlier faces, as a tree contains its rings. The sum of them is me. The mirror sees only my latest face, while I know all my previous ones Picture Quote #1

Love is like a tree, it grows of its own accord, it puts down deep roots into our whole being Picture Quote #1

What is more mortifying than to feel that you have missed the plum for want of courage to shake the tree? Picture Quote #1

Sin, guilt, neurosis; they are one and the same, the fruit of the tree of knowledge Picture Quote #1
