Daily Quote – Trees

I frequently tramped eight or ten miles through the deepest snow
to keep an appointment with a beech-tree,
or a yellow birch, or an old acquaintance among the pines.
- Henry David Thoreau, 1817 – 1862

Famous Saying about Trees

That each day I may walk unceasingly on the banks of my water, that my
soul may repose on the branches of the trees which I planted, that I may
refresh myself under the shadow of my sycomore.
- Egyptian tomb inscription, circa 1400 BCE
Sycomore trees were held to be sacred in ancient Egypt and are the first trees represented in ancient art.

Daily Quote about Trees

The tree which moves some to tears of joy is in the eyes of others only a
green thing that stands in the way.  Some see Nature all ridicule and
deformity, and some scarce see Nature at all.  But to the eyes of the
man of imagination, Nature is Imagination itself.
William Blake, 1799

Famous Quote on Trees

Being thus prepared for us in all ways, and made beautiful, and good for food, and for building,
and for instruments of our hands, this race of plants, deserving boundless affection and
admiration from us, becomes, in proportion to their obtaining it, a nearly perfect test of our
being in right temper of mind and way of life; so that no one can be far wrong in either who
loves trees enough, and everyone is assuredly wrong in both who does not love them,
if his life has brought them in his way.
Modern Painters VI
