Famous quotes containing the word branches:
“They all came, some wore sentiments
Emblazoned on T-shirts, proclaiming the lateness
Of the hour, and indeed the sun slanted its rays
Through branches of Norfolk Island pine as though
Politely clearing its throat....”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“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.”
—QurAn. Abraham 14:29-30, ed. Arthur J. Arberry (1955)
“There are a thousand hacking at the branches of evil to one who is striking at the root, and it may be that he who bestows the largest amount of time and money on the needy is doing the most by his mode of life to produce that misery which he strives in vain to relieve.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
