In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks.
The earth laughs in flowers.
The love of gardening is a seed once sown that never dies.
The trees that are slow to grow bear the best fruit.
What we are doing to the forests of the world is but a mirror reflection of what we are doing to ourselves and to one another.
To plant a garden is to believe in tomorrow.
I think that I shall never see a poem lovely as a tree.
Gardening is the art that uses flowers and plants as paint, and the soil and sky as canvas.
To forget how to dig the earth and to tend the soil is to forget ourselves.
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.
A society grows great when old men plant trees whose shade they know they shall never sit in.
The creation of a thousand forests is in one acorn.
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.
I am in love with the green earth.
The clearest way into the Universe is through a forest wilderness.
