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

The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now.

He who plants a tree plants hope.

A garden is a grand teacher. It teaches patience and careful watchfulness; it teaches industry and thrift; above all it teaches entire trust.

God has cared for these trees, saved them from drought, disease, avalanches, and a thousand tempests and floods. But he cannot save them from fools.
