If you are bitter you are like a dry leaf that you can squash and you can blow away by the wind. There is much more wisdom in forgiveness.
Vusi Mahlasela
Image
I possess the greatest power ever bestowed upon mankind, the power of choice. Today, I choose to persist without exception. No longer will I live in a dimension of distraction, my focus blown hither and yon like a leaf on a blustery day. I know the outcome I desire. I hold fast to my dreams. I stay the course. I do not quit.
Andy Andrews
Image
Help each other. Love everyone. Every leaf. Every ray of light. Forgive.
Terrence Malick
Image
There was so much of beauty here: the neat, small tracks of a foraging creature, stoat or marten the inticate tracery of a skeleton leaf, still clinging vainly to its parent tree as, little by little, time stripped it of its substance, leaving only the delicate remembrance of what it had been.
Juliet Marillier
Image
Let the winds of evidence blow you about as though you are a leaf, with no direction of your own. Beware lest you fight a rearguard retreat against the evidence, grudgingly conceding each foot of ground only when forced, feeling cheated. Surrender to the truth as quickly as you can.
Eliezer Yudkowsky
Image
Consider The lilies of the field whose bloom is brief:-- We are as they Like them we fade away As doth a leaf.
Christina Rossetti

That is not a drug. It's a leaf.
Arnold Schwarzenegger

You are as the yellow leaf. The messengers of death are at hand. You are to travel far away. What will you take with you? You are the lamp To lighten the way. Then hurry, hurry. When your light shines.
Gautama Buddha
Image
You will turn over many a futile new leaf till you learn we must all write on scratched-out pages.
Mignon McLaughlin
Image
A leaf fluttered in through the window this morning, as if supported by the rays of the sun, a bird settled on the fire escape, joy in the task of coffee, joy accompanied me as I walked.
Anais Nin
Image
All that happens in the world of Nature or Man, - every war every peace every hour of prosperity every hour of adversity every election every death every life every success and every failure, - all change, - all permanence, - the perished leaf the unutterable glory of stars, - all things speak truth to the thoughtful spirit.
Rufus Choate
Image
How fugitive and brief is mortal life between the budding and the falling leaf.
Thomas Bailey Aldrich
Image
Beauty is a fairy sometimes she hides herself in a flower-cup, or under a leaf, or creeps into the old ivy, and plays hide-and-seek with the sunbeams, or haunts some ruined spot, or laughs out of a bright young face.
George Augustus Henry Sala
Image
Guilt pins a fig-leaf Innocence is its own adorning.
Anne Spencer
Image
As the country now turns a new leaf, our ambition is to give hope to each and every Afghan.
Hamid Karzai
Image
The jungle looked back at them with a vastness, a breathing moss-and-leaf silence, with a billion diamond and emerald insect eyes.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Upon the hearth the fire is red, Beneath the roof there is a bed But not yet weary are our feet, Still round the corner we may meet A sudden tree or standing stone That none have seen but we alone. Tree and flower and leaf and grass, Let them pass! Let them pass!
J. R. R. Tolkien
Image
Every leaf knows that time is very short. All life must be lived before the autumn comes!
Mehmet Murat Ildan
Image
Do not go through life like leaf blown from here to there believing whatever you are told.
Socrates
Image
With time and patience, the mulberry leaf becomes satin.
Maltbie Davenport Babcock
Image
It's in the democratic citizen's nature to be like a leaf that doesn't believe in the tree it's part of.
David Foster Wallace
Image
Blessed be the discipline which makes me reach out my soul's roots into closer union with Jesus! Blessed be the dews of the Spirit which keep my leaf ever green! Blessed be the trials which shake down the ripe, golden fruits from the branches.
Theodore L. Cuyler
