"A tree's beauty lies in its branches, but its strength lies in its roots."
- Matshona Dhliwayo
"A tree’s nature does not change because the wind blew off a few of its leaves."
"If you can't climb a tree, shake it, and its fruit will fall."
"It is not how fast a tree grows, but how well. It is not how big a fruit is, but how sweet."
"It is in the shade that you look up at a tree and appreciate its efforts."
"A tree is naked, no matter how big, if it does not have leaves."
"If a tree bears sweet fruit, birds have many reasons to visit it."
"If you want to know how good a tree is, examine how many birds flock to feed off of its fruit."
"A tree does not despair when its fruit falls to the ground, because it knows in due time, its seeds will rise."
"A tree does not stop growing because the wind blew off a few of its leaves."
