Olive Tree

Famous quotes containing the words olive and/or tree:

    For six years you shall sow your land and gather in its yield; but the seventh year you shall let it rest and lie fallow, so that the poor of your people may eat; and what they leave the wild animals may eat. You shall do the same with your vineyard, and with your olive orchard.
    Bible: Hebrew, Exodus 23:10,11.

    As a tree my sin stands
    To darken all lands;
    Death is the fruit it bore.
    Christina Georgina Rossetti (1830–1894)
