Tall Trees Quotes

Neil Young quote: "This old world keeps spinnin’ round; It’s a wonder tall trees..."
This old world keeps spinnin’ round; It’s a wonder tall trees ain’t layin’ down. Neil Young
The sunshine was delightful, the foliage gently astir, more from the activity of birds than from the breeze. One gallant little bird, doubtless lovelorn, was singing his heart out at the top of a tall tree. Victor Hugo
Edgar Guest quote: "I'm sorry for him who cannot hear what the tall trees have to..."
I'm sorry for him who cannot hear what the tall trees have to say. Edgar Guest
Ho! Ho! Ho! To the bottle I go. To heal my heart and drown my woe. Rain may fall, and wind may blow. And many miles be still to go. But under a tall tree will I lie. And let the clouds go sailing by J. R. R. Tolkien
...the more risks you allow children to take, the better they learn to take care of themselves. If you never let them take any risks, then I believe they become very prone to injury. Boys should be allowed to climb tall trees and walk along the tops of high walls and dive into the sea from high rocks... The same with girls. I like the type of child who takes risks. Better by far than the one who never does so. Roald Dahl
Dar Williams quote: "But if you're looking to be spooked by really tall trees then..."
But if you're looking to be spooked by really tall trees then you've got to go to Washington State. Dar Williams
Saskya Pandita quote: "By depending on the great, The small may rise high. See: the..."
By depending on the great, The small may rise high. See: the little plant ascending the tall tree Has climbed to the top. Saskya Pandita
Walter Scott quote: "He that climbs the tall tree has won right to the fruit, He..."
He that climbs the tall tree has won right to the fruit, He that leaps the wide gulf should prevail in his suit. Walter Scott
Tall ships and tall kings Three times three, What brought they from the foundered land Over the flowing sea? Seven stars and seven stones And one white tree. (The Two Towers) J. R. R. Tolkien
To me, the poor are like Bonsai trees. When you plant the best seed of the tallest tree in a six-inch deep flower pot, you get a perfect replica of the tallest tree, but it is only inches tall. There is nothing wrong with the seed you planted; only the soil-base you provided was inadequate. Poor people are bonsai people. There is nothing wrong with their seeds. Only society never gave them a base to grow on. Muhammad Yunus
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
On two chairs beneath the bole of the tree and canopied by a living bough there sat, side by side, Celeborn and Galadriel. Very tall they were, and the Lady no less tall than the Lord; and they were grave and beautiful. They were clad wholly in white; and the hair of the Lady was of deep gold, and the hair of the Lord Celeborn was of silver long and bright; but no sign of age was upon them, unless it were in the depths of their eyes; for these were keen as lances in the starlight, and yet... J. R. R. Tolkien
The Flowers. All the names I know from nurse: Gardener's garters, Shepherd's purse, Bachelor's buttons, Lady's smock, And the Lady Hollyhock. Fairy places, fairy things, Fairy woods where the wild bee wings, Tiny trees for tiny dames--These must all be fairy names! Tiny woods below whose boughs. Shady fairies weave a house; Tiny tree-tops, rose or thyme, Where the braver fairies climb! Fair are grown-up people's trees, But the fairest woods are these; Where, if I were not so tall, I should... Robert Louis Stevenson
Alice Walker quote: "She look so stylish it like the trees all round the house draw..."
She look so stylish it like the trees all round the house draw themself up tall for a better look. Alice Walker
But she still had that something which fires the imagination, could still stop one's breath for a moment by a look or gesture that somehow revealed the meaning in common things. She had only to stand in the orchard, to put her hand on a little crab tree and look up at the apples, to make you feel the goodness of planting and tending and harvesting at last. All the strong things of her heart came out in her body, that had been so tireless in serving generous emotions. It was no wonder that her... Willa Cather
