Famous quotes containing the word branches:

    “The duty of government is to leave commerce to its own capital and credit as well as all other branches of business, protecting all in their legal pursuits, granting exclusive privileges to none.”
    —Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)

    “...there is hope for a tree, if it is cut down, that it will sprout again, and that its shoots will not cease. Though its root grows old in the earth, and its stump dies in the ground, yet at the scent of water it will bud and put forth branches like a young plant. But mortals die, and are laid low; humans expire, and where are they?”
    —Bible: Hebrew, Job 14:7-10.

    “A woman is a branchy tree
    And man a singing wind;
    And from her branches carelessly
    He takes what he can find.”
    —James Kenneth Stephens (1882–1950)
