So here in tribute, three of my favorite tree quotes...
“The wrongs done to trees, wrongs of every sort,
are done in the darkness of ignorance and unbelief,
for when the light comes,
the heart of the people is always right.”
~John Muir
If only I could share it:
The soft sound of snow
Falling late at night
From the trees
At this old temple.
~Hakuin (1686-1768)
Plant trees.
They give us two of the most crucial elements for our survival:
oxygen and books.
~A. Whitney Brown

Yay trees!
The true meaning of life is to plant trees, under whose shade you do not expect to sit.
-- Nelson Henderson
"Keep a green tree in your heart and perhaps a singing bird will come."
-- Old Chinese Proverb.
(And a bunch more by that John Muir guy. He said a lot of quotable things about trees!)
(and adding your quotes to my collection!)
ROTFL! "That John Muir guy." You are too cute! :-D
Thanks for the quotes! I am an obsessive quote collector. I could have just blogged quotes all night and barely skimmed the surface of my stash! :-)
