A good tree cannot bear bad fruit; nor can a bad tree produce good fruit. So, by their fruits, you shall know them. A tree without bark cannot bear fruit, nor can a good person remain mute while others suffer misfortune. A tree is known by its fruit. The tree that does not bend gets chopped down. A tree grows strong from adversity. Trees give shade, water, fruit and produce oxygen. As a tree grows strong by spreading its roots deep. The oak tree, elm, maple, ash, pine, cypress, and all other trees are the children of God. The difference between them is that some are strong, others are feeble, but all of them are useful. The branches of a tree cannot reach the sky but the roots can go far below the ground. In the forest every tree has a use. It takes ten years to build a tree and a reputation, and five minutes to ruin both. Trees are useful for shade, fruit, and medicine. When branches grow too long they break off and hurt themselves; similarly, by neglecting details we injure ourselves. A tree lives by three rules: Be strong, be stable, be green. The more I look into nature, the more clearly I see how much I resemble nature. Every tree has its unique characteristics which is a mirror reflection of its growing conditions. The same applies to humans. The forest is full of trees, some tall and strong, some small and delicate, all different colors, shapes, and sizes, yet all one large family. As trees grow around them, forests develop. When a green tree is cut down, it does not leave roots behind it. Forest is the home of all living creatures. Lesson from Trees: The meaning of life is living life to the fullest. The greenest trees show their fruit first. Life has no true meaning unless there is something greater than life. When you enter a forest, you leave the world behind. When God created the trees he made them all different colors. That way no two trees would look alike. The purpose of life is to live it, to taste, to smell, to see, and be one with nature. Life is all about living, loving, learning, growing, laughing, sharing, thinking, dreaming, and having faith. The forest is a great teacher, he teaches by example. The greenest trees are often closest to the sun. Green trees show good health, silver brings prosperity and gold means fortune. The forest is full of trees, some tall and strong, some small and delicate, all different colors, shapes, and sizes, together creating a natural paradise. The forest is full of life, but the trees within the forest need each other. Green trees grow strong roots and provide shade for other plants. A green tree does not grow high unless it receives proper nourishment and water. The forest is full of trees, some tall and strong, some small and delicate, all different colors, shapes, and sizes, yet they all live together in harmony. When you find a friend among the trees, consider it a gift from God. Learn Character from trees, values from roots, and change from leaves. A friend in need is like a flower garden, but a flower garden without friends is like a desert. An ancient tree has endured through centuries of storms and drought. Like nature, the character comes from hard work, diligence, and persistence. The presence of nature makes us more appreciative of our surroundings. Law of life: a forest is known by the company of trees it keeps. Likewise, a person is known by the company he keeps. A single living organism cannot exist without other living organisms. When you plant a tree, you have planted seeds of the future. You cannot survive without water, yet you cannot live without air. Trees are part of our ecosystem that provide air and water. An oak can be felled by a single blow, but it takes several thousand cuts to kill a tree. Like a tree planted by water springs forth roots of righteousness. Trees are meant to be planted in the open, where they can take full advantage of sunlight. The tree is an embodiment of strength and endurance. Trees are symbols of peace and tranquillity. Trees are nature's most beautiful creations.
