Tree Fall

Famous quotes containing the words tree and/or fall:

    Power is, in nature, the essential measure of right. Nature suffers nothing to remain in her kingdoms which cannot help itself. The genesis and maturation of a planet, its poise and orbit, the bended tree recovering itself from the strong wind, the vital resources of every animal and vegetable, are demonstrations of the self-sufficing and therefore self-relying soul.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Whoever digs a pit will fall into it; and whoever breaks through a wall will be bitten by a snake.
    Bible: Hebrew, Ecclesiastes 10:8.
