Famous quotes containing the words trees, planted and/or honor:
“But we still remember ... above all, the cool, free aspect of the wild apple trees, generously proffering their fruit to us, though still green and crude,—the hard, round, glossy fruit, which, if not ripe, still was not poison, but New English too, brought hither, its ancestors, by ours once. These gentler trees imparted a half-civilized and twilight aspect to the otherwise barbarian land.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“God Almighty first planted a garden. And indeed, it is the purest of human pleasures.”
—Francis Bacon (1561–1626)
“We honor the rich because they have externally the freedom, power, and grace which we feel to be proper to man, proper to us.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
