Famous quotes containing the words tiger and/or tree:
“As a tiger may lose its footing on soft ground, so people may be tripped up by sweet words.”
—Chinese proverb.
“Is not disease the rule of existence? There is not a lily pad floating on the river but has been riddled by insects. Almost every shrub and tree has its gall, oftentimes esteemed its chief ornament and hardly to be distinguished from the fruit. If misery loves company, misery has company enough. Now, at midsummer, find me a perfect leaf or fruit.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
