A brotherhood of venerable trees.
William Wordsworth
Image
Beneath these fruit-tree boughs that shed Their snow-white blossoms on my head, With brightest sunshine round me spread Of spring's unclouded weather, In this sequestered nook how sweet To sit upon my orchard-seat! And birds and flowers once more to greet, My last year's friends together.
William Wordsworth
Image
The symbolism - and the substantive significance - of planting a tree has universal power in every culture and every society on Earth, and it is a way for individual men, women and children to participate in creating solutions for the environmental crisis.
Al Gore
Image
The tree of life for me is a symbol of abundance and eternal life.
Akiane Kramarik
Image
I am like a tree in a forest. Birds come to the tree, they sit on its branches and eat its fruits. To the birds, the fruit may be sweet or sour or whatever. The birds say sweet or they say sour, but from the tree's point of view, this is just the chattering of birds.

Actually, my ideal life would be to have an evergreen tree farm and, every December, I'd load them up and just stand out on the street and sell Christmas trees.
Willis Earl Beal
Image
The weakness of most men they do not know how to become a stone or tree.
Aime Cesaire
Image
It is no use painting the foot of the tree white, the strength of the bark cries out from beneath the paint.
Aime Cesaire
Image
Caresses, expressions of one sort or another, are necessary to the life of the affections as leaves are to the life of a tree. If they are wholly restrained, love will die at the roots.
Nathaniel Hawthorne
Image
From all these trees, in the salads, the soup, everywhere, cherry blossoms fall.
Matsuo Basho
Image
We must keep these waters for wild rice, these trees for maple syrup, our lakes for fish, and our land and aquifers for all of our relatives - whether they have fins, roots, wings, or paws.
Winona LaDuke
Image
Once you change the technology - from a film camera to a video camera, or from an 8-mm camera to 16 mm - you change completely the content. With 8 mm, a leaf on a tree will be made up of maybe four grains. So it's very impressionistic, almost like Seurat. If you switch to 16 mm, the technology gives you hundreds of grains on that leaf.
Jonas Mekas
Image
Solitary trees, if they grow at all, grow strong.
Winston Churchill
Image
Fancy cutting down all those beautiful trees...to make pulp for those bloody newspapers, and calling it civilisation.
Winston Churchill
Image
Two lost things that had survived the seas and arrived on a coastline. What did they do? They implanted themselves in the sand and grew into trees and lined the beaches. Sometimes a lot can come of being all washed up. You can really grow.
Cecelia Ahern
Image
If you can imagine the one family continuously occupying the same land for 40,000 years or more, using it not just to sustain life but as a place of reverence and worship, where every tree, rock and waterhole had significance, you will get some understanding of the importance of land to indigenous people.
Tania Major
Image
The fly sat upon the axel-tree of the chariot-wheel and said, 'What a dust do I raise!'
Aesop
Image
You cannot tear up ancient rootages and safely plant the tree of liberty in soil that is not native to it.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
As the poet said, 'Only God can make a tree,' probably because it's so hard to figure out how to get the bark on.
Woody Allen
Image
Of all the wonders of nature, a tree in summer is perhaps the most remarkable with the possible exception of a moose singing 'Embraceable You' in spats.
Woody Allen
Image
Our lives are merely trees of possibilities.
Marc Bolan
Image
Since half of all trees cut go to making paper, the only meaningful way to address destruction of our forest is to change the way paper is made.
Woody Harrelson
Image
I didn't want to tell the tree or weed what it was. I wanted it to tell me something and through me express its meaning in nature.
Wynn Bullock
Image
And now a chill settled over them where they stood, and Harry heard the rasping breath of the dementors that patrolled the outer trees. They would not affect him now. The fact of his own survival burned inside him, a talisman against them, as though his father's stag kept guardian in his heart.
