Famous quotes containing the word branches:

    “A good word is as a good tree—
    its roots are firm,
    and its branches are in heaven;
    it gives its produce every season
    by the leave of its Lord.”
    —Qur’An. Abraham 14:29-30, ed. Arthur J. Arberry (1955)

    “Go to the adolescent who are smothered in family—
    Oh how hideous it is
    To see three generations of one house gathered together!
    It is like an old tree with shoots,
    And with some branches rotted and falling.”
    —Ezra Pound (1885–1972)
