• The dream in your heart may be bigger than the environment in which you find yourself. Sometimes you have to get out of that environment to see that dream fulfilled. It’s like planting an oak sapling in a pot. Once it becomes rootbound, its growth is limited. It needs a great space to become a mighty oak. So do you.

• We could say that the totality, life wants the sapling to become a tree, but the sapling doesn't see itself as separate from life and so wants nothing for itself. It is one with what life wants. That's why it isn't worried or stressed. And, if it has to die prematurely, it dies with ease.

• They absorb carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide and give out oxygen. What could be more desirable? And they look good in the bargain. Stop chopping down the rain forests and plant more saplings, and we're on our way.

• with the spring a sort of inspiration is wakened in the most prosaic of us. The same spirit of change that thrills the saplings with fresh vitality sends through human veins a creeping ecstasy of new life.

• One time I saw a tiny Joshua tree sapling growing not too far from the old tree. I wanted to dig it up and replant it near our house. I told Mom that I would protect it from the wind and water it every day so that it could grow nice and tall and straight. Mom frowned at me. "You'd be destroying what makes it special," she said. "It's the Joshua tree's struggle that gives it its beauty.

• The life of a good man will hardly improve us more than the life of a freebooter, for the inevitable laws appear as plainly in theinfringement as in the observance, and our lives are sustained by a nearly equal expense of virtue of some kind. The decaying tree, while yet it lives, demands sun, wind, and rain no less than the green one. It secretes sap and performs the functions of health. If we choose, we may study the alburnum only. The gnarled stump has as tender a bud as the sapling.

• And so there would always be more to remember that could no longer be seen...our history is always returning to a little patch of weeds and saplings with an old chimney sticking up by itself...and here I look ahead to the resting of my case: I love the house that belonged to the chimney, holding it bright in memory, and love the saplings and the weeds.

• I'm more encouraged by the saplings: new music groups, tiny new venues, entrepreneurial musician-composers who aren't waiting to be discovered but are instead building their own Establishment.

• Fascism is the most inherently evil political ideology that man has ever devised. Wherever we see even the smallest sapling of fascism growing, we should use every just, reasonable and humane method at our disposal to rip-it out by its roots and then salt the very earth wherein it grew, so that no other such thing may ever again take root. Of course, we must also take great care to ensure that during this process, we ourselves do not become fascists in the fight against fascism.

• Me volví intensamente consciente del ser de los árboles. El tacto de la corteza rugosa y calentada por el sol de un antiguo gigante del bosque, o la piel fría y suave de un árbol joven y ansioso, me daban una sensación extraña e intuitiva de la savia absorbida por raíces invisibles y llevada hasta las puntas de las ramas, en lo alto.

  Jane Goodall

• En resumen, la Belleza está en todas partes. No es que falte a nuestros ojos, sino que son nuestros ojos los que no la perciben. La belleza es carácter y expresión. Pues bien, no hay nada en la naturaleza que tenga más carácter que el cuerpo humano. En su fuerza y su gracia evoca las imágenes más variadas. En un momento se asemeja a una flor: el torso curvado es el tallo; los pechos, la cabeza y el esplendor del cabello responden al florecimiento de la corola. Al instante siguiente, recuerda a la enredadera flexible o al arbolito orgulloso y erguido.

  Auguste Rodin

• Cualquier tonto puede destruir árboles. No pueden huir; y si pudieran, seguirían siendo destruidos, perseguidos y cazados mientras se pudiera obtener diversión o un dólar de sus pieles de corteza, sus cuernos ramificados o sus magníficas espinas dorsales de tronco. Pocos de los que talan árboles los plantan; ni la plantación serviría de mucho para recuperar algo parecido a los nobles bosques primitivos. Durante la vida de un hombre sólo pueden crecer árboles jóvenes, en lugar de los viejos árboles -de decenas de siglos- que han sido destruidos.
