Famous quotes containing the words tree and/or length:
“A tree that can fill the span of a man’s arms
Grows from a downy tip;
A terrace nine stories high
Rises from hodfuls of earth;
A journey of a thousand miles
Starts from beneath one’s feet.”
—Lao-Tzu (6th century B.C.)
“Oft have I mused, but now at length I find,
Why those that die, men say they do depart.”
