• What does he plant who plants a tree?
  He plants the friend of sun and sky;
  He plants the flag of breezes free;
  The shaft of beauty, towering high, he plants a home to heaven anigh.
  For song and mother-croon of bird, in hushed and happy twilight heard -
  The treble of heaven's harmony.
  These things he plants who plants a tree.

There can be neither civilization nor happiness if forests crash down under the axe, if the climate is harsh and severe, if people are also harsh and severe. ... What a terrible future!

• Consider a tree for a moment. As beautiful as trees are to look at, we don't see what goes on underground - as they grow roots. Trees must develop deep roots in order to grow strong and produce their beauty. But we don't see the roots. We just see and enjoy the beauty. In much the same way, what goes on inside of us is like the roots of a tree.
