Of all the trees that grow so fair,
Old England to adorn,
Greater are none beneath the Sun,
Than Oak, and Ash, and Thorn.

 

Rudyard Kipling

 

What is already woven cannot be undone. It will not make the trees grow again for you to bring the building down on our heads.

 

Robert Jordan

 

A sincere man am I
From the land where palm trees grow,
And I want before I die
My soul's verses to bestow.

 

Jose Marti

 

The rain, the rain, the rain. You can't even hear it outside the window but still it's a sad thing. Rain, the grade school teachers say, makes the trees and flowers grow, but we're not trees and flower, and so many grade school teachers are single.

 

Daniel Handler

 

Trees which grow in places facing the course of the sun are not of porous fiber but are solid, being drained by the dryness... The trees in sunny neighborhoods, therefore, being solidified by the compact texture of their fiber, and not being porous from moisture, are very useful, so far as durability goes, when they are hewn into timber. The lowland firs, being conveyed from sunny places, are better than those highland firs, which are brought here from shady places.
