Withered Tree

Famous quotes containing the words withered and/or tree:

    I have loved her all my youth,
    But now old, as you see;
    Love likes not the falling fruit
    From the withered tree.
    Know that love is a careless child
    And forgets promise past;
    He is blind, he is deaf when he list
    And in faith never fast.
    Sir Walter Raleigh (1552?–1618)

    When the tree falls, the monkeys scatter.
    Chinese proverb.
