Trees Fall

Famous quotes containing the words trees and/or fall:

    when the trees bow down their heads,
    The wind is passing by.
    Christina Georgina Rossetti (1830–1894)

    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)
