God writes the Gospel not in the Bible alone, but also on trees, and in the flowers and clouds and stars.

We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature - trees, flowers, grass- grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence... We need silence to be able to touch souls.

He that planteth a tree is the servant of God, He provideth a kindness for many generations, And faces that he hath not seen shall bless him.

A forest doesn't weep over one tree.

The tree falls not at the first stroke.

As the forest grew, so the ax handle grew with it.

A society grows great when old men plant trees whose shade they know they shall never see.

A tree falls the way it leans.

He who plants a tree Plants a hope.

Poems are made by fools like me, But only God can make a tree.

I think that I shall never see A poem as lovely as a tree.

It would be as silly as to carry sticks into the forest.

He that plants trees loves others besides himself.

Large streams from little fountains flow, Tall oaks from little acorns grow.

The groves were God's first temples.

The tree is no sooner down than everyone runs for his hatchet.

The boughs that bear the most hang lowest.

A forest is in an acorn.

I like trees because they seem more resigned to the way they have to live than other things do.

Except during the nine months before he draws his first breath, no man manages his affairs as well as a tree does.
