Famous quotes containing the word trees:

    “The sugar maple is remarkable for its clean ankle. The groves of these trees looked like vast forest sheds, their branches stopping short at a uniform height, four or five feet from the ground, like eaves, as if they had been trimmed by art, so that you could look under and through the whole grove with its leafy canopy, as under a tent whose curtain is raised.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Bright yellow, red, and orange,
    The leaves come down in hosts;
    The trees are Indian princes,
    But soon they’ll turn to ghosts;”
    —William Allingham (1824–1889)

    “As great trees attract the winds, so great fame attracts envy.”
    —Chinese proverb.
