Quotes

An oak tree and a rosebush grew, Young and green together, Talking the talk of growing things-Wind and water and weather. And while the rosebush sweetly bloomed. The oak tree grew so high. That now it spoke of newer things-Eagles, mountain peaks and sky."I guess you think you're pretty great,"The rose was heard to cry, Screaming as loud as it possibly could. To the treetop in the sky."And now you have no time for flower talk, Now that you've grown so tall."It's not so much that I've grown,"... Shel Silverstein
Rockabye Baby, in the treetop Dont you know a treetop is no safe place to rock? And who put you up there, and your cradle too? Baby, I think someone down here has got it in for you! Shel Silverstein
Shel Silverstein quote: "If the track is tough and the hill is rough, THINKING you can..."
If the track is tough and the hill is rough, THINKING you can just ain't enough! Shel Silverstein
He has the obligation to society that any human being has. I don't think a satirist has any greater obligation to society than a bricklayer or anybody else. Shel Silverstein
The Yesees said yes to anything. That anyone suggested. The Noees said no to everything. Unless it was proven and tested. So the Yesees all died of much too much. And the Noees all died of fright, But somehow I think the Thinkforyourselfees. All came out all right. Shel Silverstein
