“We are the Roots of the tree on which you flourish. Go on rejoicing in your beauty! But remember there is this difference between us that with every autumn the old Leaves die, and with every spring new Leaves are born; but if the Roots once perish neither you nor the tree can live at all.”

“You can't hate the roots of a tree and not hate the tree.”

“New shoots, old roots make a tree look beautiful
New approaches and old principles give us true Dharma
Sayings of sages and findings of scientists come together
Human life is then truly splendid –Mankuthimma.”

“Since the tree is useless on its own without the support of the roots, you must help out your fellow friend to keep humanity alive throughout every generation.”

“Not one would mind, neither bird nor tree
If mankind perished utterly;And Spring herself, when she woke at dawn,
Would scarcely know that we were gone.”

“And all the lives we ever lived and all the lives to be are full of trees
and changing leaves.”

“Remember, you are not a tree, that can live or stand alone. You are only a branch. And it is only while you abide in Christ, as the branch in the vine, that you will flourish or even live.”

“When we're young, we notice things that are young, like ourselves. New grass on old graves. New leaves on old trees”

“When nations grow old,
the Arts grow cold,
And Commerce settles on every tree:
And the poor and the old
Can live upon gold,
For all are born poor.
              Aged sixty-three.”

“And now, my poor old woman, why are you crying so bitterly? It is autumn. The leaves are falling from the trees like burning tears- the wind howls. Why must you mimic them?”
