Famous quotes containing the words trees and/or plants:

    The mountain stood there to be pointed at.
    Pasture ran up the side a little way,
    And then there was a wall of trees with trunks;
    After that only tops of trees, and cliffs
    Imperfectly concealed among the leaves.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

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