Famous quotes containing the words trees and/or plants:

    Out of the woods my Master came,
    Content with death and shame.
    When Death and Shame would woo Him last,
    From under the trees they drew Him last:
    ‘Twas on a tree they slew Him—last
    When out of the woods He came.
    Sidney Lanier (1842–1881)

    He who plants a tree
    Plants a hope.
    Lucy Larcom (1826–1893)
