Oak Quotes

The only member of the inner sanctum of licensed sorcerers absent was Patrick of Ludlow, who was busy moving an oak for a wealthy client eager to alphabetize his arboretum Picture Quote #1

Revolutions are not made; they come. A revolution is as natural a growth as an oak. It comes out of the past. Its foundations are laid far back Picture Quote #1

The little girl skipped by under the wrinkled oak leaves and held fast to a replica of herself Picture Quote #1

The oak sleeps in the acorn. The bird waits in the egg, and in the highest vision of the soul, a waking angel stirs. Dreams are the seedlings of reality Picture Quote #1

How pleasant it is for a father to sit at his child's board. It is like the aged man reclining under the shadow of the oak which he has planted Picture Quote #1

The whiskey tasted like bear steaks and river mud and the flesh of an oak tree. I had another swallow because it tasted so good Picture Quote #1

There was nothing dishonourable in not being blown about by every little modern wind. Better to have worth, to entrench, to be an oak of one's own generation Picture Quote #1

The greatest achievement was at first and for a time a dream. The oak sleeps in the acorn, the bird waits in the egg, and in the highest vision of the soul a waking angel stirs. Dreams are the seedlings of realities Picture Quote #1

How pleasant it is for a father to sit at his child's board. It is like an aged man reclining under the shadow of an oak which he has planted Picture Quote #1

In that day's feats, when he might act the woman in the scene, he prov'd best man i' th' field, and for his meed Was brow bound with the oak Picture Quote #1

Leaves seem light and useless, and idle and wavering, and changeable - they even dance; yet God has made them part of the oak. In so doing, he has given us a lesson, not to deny the stout heartedness within because we see the lightsomeness without Picture Quote #1

The oak, when living, monarch of the wood; the English oak, which, dead, commands the flood Picture Quote #1

Music has charms to sooth a savage breast, to soften rocks, or bend a knotted oak Picture Quote #1

Outward attacks and troubles rather fix than unsettle the Christian, as tempests from without only serve to root the oak faster; while an inward canker will gradually rot and decay it Picture Quote #1

Schoolchildren and older people like the idea of planting trees. For children, it’s interesting that an acorn will grow into an oak, and for older people it’s a legacy. And the act of planting a tree is not that difficult Picture Quote #1

Built like an oak tree, against which I could pitch my pillow and read; mornings, I could curl into the crook of your branches Picture Quote #1

I believe every... man remembers the girl he thinks he should have married. She reappears to him in his lonely moments, or he sees her in the face of a young girl in the park, buying a snowball under an oak tree by the baseball diamond. But she belongs to back there, to somebody else, and that thought sometimes rends your heart in a way that you never share with anyone else Picture Quote #1

My feet will tread soft as a deer in the forest. My mind will be clear as water from the sacred well. My heart will be strong as a great oak. My spirit will spread an eagle’s wings, and fly forth Picture Quote #1

I see only a little, lady, but I know that your fortune is as twined with his as the ivy to the oak Picture Quote #1

For their entire lives, even before they met you, your mother and father held their love for you inside their hearts like an acorn holds an oak tree Picture Quote #1

The hardest shot in golf is a mashie at 90 yards from the green, where the ball has to be played against an oak tree, bounces back into a sandtrap, hits a stone, bounces on the green and then rolls into the cup. That shot is so difficult I have made it only once Picture Quote #1

I wish you were that birch rising from the clump behind you, and I the gray oak alongside Picture Quote #1

Stand for something or you will fall for anything. Today’s mighty oak is yesterday’s nut that held its ground Picture Quote #1

Stories are a kind of thing, too. Stories and objects share something, a patina. I thought I had this clear, two years ago before I started, but I am no longer sure how this works. Perhaps a patina is a process of rubbing back so that the essential is revealed, the way that a striated stone tumbled in a river feels irreducible, the way that this netsuke of a fox has become little more than a memory of a nose and a tail. But it also seems additive, in the way that a piece of oak furniture gains over years and years of polishing, and the way the leaves of my medlar shine Picture Quote #1

Oak trees come out of acorns, no matter how unlikely that seems. An acorn is just a tree’s way back into the ground. For another try. Another trip through. One life for another Picture Quote #1

And if we seem nutty to you and if we seem like an odd ball to you, just remember one thing. The mighty oak tree was once a nut just like me Picture Quote #1

When we really let go, we become everything. At that point we are identified with all things: the flower, the oak tree, the morning star Picture Quote #1

We are, in a certain way, defined as much by our potential as by its expression. There is a great difference between an acorn and a little bit of wood carved into an acorn shape, a difference not always readily apparent to the naked eye. The difference is there even if the acorn never has the opportunity to plant itself and become an oak. Remembering its potential changes the way in which we think of the acorn and react to it. How we value it. If an acorn were conscious, knowing its potential would change the way that it might think and feel about itself Picture Quote #1

The truth, I discovered, is a tree that grows as a man gains access to experience. A child sees the acorn of his daily life, but a man looks back on the oak Picture Quote #1

Ordinarily, I go to the woods alone, with not a single friend, for they are all smilers and talkers and therefore unsuitable. I don’t really want to be witnessed talking to the catbirds or hugging the old black oak tree. I have my way of praying, as you no doubt have yours. Besides, when I am alone I can become invisible Picture Quote #1
