Famous quotes containing the words trees and/or fall:
“Bright yellow, red, and orange,
The leaves come down in hosts;

But soon theyll turn to ghosts;”

“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 (16131680)
