| The oaks and the pines, and their brethren of the wood, have seen so many suns rise and set, so many seasons come and go, and so many generations pass into silence, that we may well wonder what "the story of the trees" would be to us if they had tongues to tell it, or we ears fine enough to understand. ~Author Unknown |

| Between every two pines is a doorway to a new world. ~John Muir |
 |
| The tree is more than first a seed, then a stem, then a living trunk, and then dead timber. The tree is a slow, enduring force straining to win the sky. ~Antoine de Saint-Exupéry |

| Trees are much like human beings and enjoy each other's company. Only a few love to be alone. ~Jens Jensen  I think that I shall never seeA poem lovely as a tree. A tree whose hungry mouth is prest Against the earth's sweet flowing breast; A tree that looks at God all day And lifts her leafy arms to pray; A tree that may in Summer wear A nest of robins in her hair; Upon whose bosom snow has lain; Who intimately lives with rain. Poems are made by fools like me, But only God can make a tree. ~Joyce Kilmer 
Why are there trees I never walk under
But large and melodious thoughts descend upon me? ~Walt Whitman 
I hear the wind among the trees
Playing the celestial symphonies; I see the branches downward bent, Like keys of some great instrument. ~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow  but our hearts must be very quiet to hear it. ~Minnie Aumonier   ~Edvard Munch  With them He writes in shining green Across the world His thoughts serene. ~Leonora Speyer    ~Author Unknown  ~Kahlil Gibran |
