Plant Roots

Famous quotes containing the words plant and/or roots:

    If a plant cannot live according to its nature, it dies; and so a man.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Sprung from the West,
    He drank the valorous youth of a new world.
    The strength of virgin forests braced his mind,
    The hush of spacious prairies stilled his soul.
    His words were oaks in acorns; and his thoughts
    Were roots that firmly gript the granite truth.
    Edwin Markham (1852–1940)
