Tree Fall

Famous quotes containing the words tree and/or fall:

    A tree may grow a thousand feet tall, but its leaves will return to its roots.
    Chinese proverb.

    Compassion is frequently a sense of our own misfortunes, in those of other men; it is an ingenious foresight of the disasters that may fall upon us hereafter. We relieve others, that they may return the like when our occasions call for it; and the good offices we do them are, in strict speaking, so many kindnesses done to ourselves beforehand.
    François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
