American Chestnut Trees

Famous quotes containing the words american and/or trees:

    There is too much sour grapes for my taste in the present American attitude. The time to denounce the bankers was when we were all feeding off their gold plate; not now! At present they have not only my sympathy but my preference. They are the last representatives of our native industries.
    Edith Wharton (1862–1937)

    Then now is the chance for the flowers
    That can’t stand mowers and plowers.
    It must be now, though, in season
    Before the not mowing brings trees on....
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
