“A tree once saved my life. A posse was going to hang me, but this wise old oak would not let them. As a token of my gratitude to that tree, I used it for furniture instead of firewood.”
“An oak tree is an oak tree. That is all it has to do. If an oak tree is less than an oak tree, then we are all in trouble.”
“The largest oak tree was once a tiny sapling.”
“I told the tree it was going nowhere in life. It was hurtful, but true. Now, maybe in death it will go somewhere, as furniture.”
“Out of used furniture she made a tree.”
“My favorite tree is the Joshua tree, which is named after me. Well, it will be, once I change my name to Joshua.”
