Only when the last tree has died and the last river been poisoned and the last fish been caught will we realise we cannot eat money.
- Arbor Day Quotes by Cree Indian Proverb
Us sing and dance, make faces and give flower bouquets, trying to be loved. You ever notice that trees do everything to git attention we do, except walk?
- Arbor Day Quotes by Alice Walker, The Color Purple, 1982
Trees are poems that earth writes upon the sky,
We fell them down and turn them into paper,
That we may record our emptiness.
- Arbor Day Quotes by Kahlil Gibran
Trees are the earth's endless effort to speak to the listening heaven.
- Arbor Day Quotes by Rabindranath Tagore, Fireflies, 1928
Suburbia is where the developer bulldozes out the trees, then names the streets after them.
- Arbor Day Quotes by Bill Vaughn
No wonder the hills and groves were God's first temples, and the more they are cut down and hewn into cathedrals and churches, the farther off and dimmer seems the Lord himself.
- Arbor Day Quotes by John Muir
The true meaning of life is to plant trees, under whose shade you do not expect to sit.
- Arbor Day Quotes by Nelson Henderson
The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The next best time is now.
- Arbor Day Quotes by Chinese Proverb
You can live for years next door to a big pine tree, honored to have so venerable a neighbor, even when it sheds needles all over your flowers or wakes you, dropping big cones onto your deck at still of night.
God has cared for these trees, saved them from drought, disease, avalanches, and a thousand tempests and floods. But he cannot save them from fools.
- Arbor Day Quotes by John Muir
I never saw a discontented tree. They grip the ground as though they liked it, and though fast rooted they travel about as far as we do. They go wandering forth in all directions with every wind, going and coming like ourselves, traveling with us around the sun two million miles a day, and through space heaven knows how fast and far!
- Arbor Day Quotes by John Muir
If you would know strength and patience, welcome the company of trees.
- Arbor Day Quotes by Hal Borland
I frequently tramped eight or ten miles through the deepest snow to keep an appointment with a beech-tree, or a yellow birch, or an old acquaintance among the pines.
- Arbor Day Quotes by Henry David Thoreau
Between every two pines is a doorway to a new world.
- Arbor Day Quotes by John Muir
Trees outstrip most people in the extent and depth of their work for the public good.
- Arbor Day Quotes by Sara Ebenreck, American Forests
If a man walks in the woods for love of them half of each day, he is in danger of being regarded as a loafer. But if he spends his days as a speculator, shearing off those woods and making the earth bald before her time, he is deemed an industrious and enterprising citizen.
- Arbor Day Quotes by Henry David Thoreau
For in the true nature of things, if we rightly consider, every green tree is far more glorious than if it were made of gold and silver.
- Arbor Day Quotes by Martin Luther
Except during the nine months before he draws his first breath, no man manages his affairs as well as a tree does.
- Arbor Day Quotes by George Bernard Shaw, Maxims for Revolutionists, 1903
- Arbor Day Quotes by Denise Levertov
If I thought I was going to die tomorrow, I should nevertheless plant a tree today.
- Arbor Day Quotes by Stephan Girard
Happiness is a bowl of cherries and a book of poetry under a shade tree.
- Arbor Day Quotes by Astrid Alauda
