Oak Trees

Famous quotes containing the words oak and/or trees:

    I could lecture on dry oak leaves; I could, but who would hear me? If I were to try it on any large audience, I fear it would be no gain to them, and a positive loss to me. I should have behaved rudely toward my rustling friends.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “A thousand Christmas trees! at what apiece?”
    He felt some need of softening that to me:
    “A thousand trees would come to thirty dollars.”
    Then I was certain I had never meant
    To let him have them.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
