“The media only writes about the sinners and the scandals, he said, but that's normal, because 'a tree that falls makes more noise than a forest that grows.”

“If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?”

“To refuse awards is another way of accepting them with more noise than is normal.”

“If a tree falls in the forest and no one hears it fall, does it make a sound or not? Hector had read alot of books by then, he knew all the tricks and arguments of the philosophers. If someone makes a movie and no one sees it, does the movie exist or not?”

“If a tree falls in the forest and nobody is there to hear it, doesn't it just lie there and rot?”

“It is said that in some countries trees will grow, but will bear no fruit because there is no winter there.”

“When man cuts a tree, he is actually making his own coffin. It is not enough to plant one tree for each one he cuts. He may have to plant at least 50 trees or more. It is said that about 5 million people get cancer from polluted air.”

“Now the Father draws us from the evil of sin to the goodness of His grace with the might of His measureless power, and He needs all the resources of His strength in order to convert sinners, more than when He was about to make heaven and earth, which He made with His own power without help from any creature. But when He is about to convert a sinner, He always needs the sinner's help. "He converts thee not without thy help," as St. Augustine says.”

“As the poet said, "Only God can make a tree"— probably because it's so hard to figure out how to get the bark on.”
