Tree Quotes

“Tree planting is always a utopian enterprise, it seems to me, a wager on a future the planter doesn't necessarily expect to witness.” 

Michael Pollan, Second Nature: A Gardener's Education

“I like trees because they seem more resigned to the way they have to live than other things do.” 

Willa Cather

"The best time to plant a tree was twenty years ago. The next best time is now."

Chinese proverb

"The forest is a library.  The trees are books, their branches pages, each leaf a word of wisdom."

Anonymous

"Someone is sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago."

Warren Buffett
