The cherry tree myth proverb

 The cherry tree myth is just that. When I do lectures I bring an old hatchet and say we just found this under an old cherry tree we had to take down. George Washington loved cherry trees. He put in a Cherry Walk of espaliered cherries in the Upper Garden. He did some pruning but not with a hatchet.

 Cherry continues to the dominant species in bedroom and dining room groups and North America is the only place where it is grown. Chinese cherry is not a true cherry. It's not a scientific cousin. If the piece says Chinese cherry, it is not the same species.

 While Sen. Kerry's rationale has evolved over his four terms, his record is clear. His rationale has shifted over the two decades, but his opposition [to national defense programs] is consistent -- cut, cut, cut and cancel, cancel, cancel programs that are vital to national security, ...

 When I was a boy, we all learned the story of George Washington and the cherry tree and accepted it as gospel truth.

Mason Locke Weems.
  Grant Wood

 A lot of the teams have gotten stronger. Our diving has been a little down and that has hurt us in a few meets, but we're working to improve that. At least four teams (that are on Vineland's schedule) have really improved. Washington Township has 14 new kids, Cherry Hill West and Cherry Hill East are strong, and Eastern is always a competitive team. They all have good coaches who know how to plan lineups, so it's going to be a challenge.

 There's no quality control. You'll have guys out there with a smattering of Arabic drawing all kinds of crazy conclusions. Rush Limbaugh will cherry-pick from the right, and Al Franken will cherry-pick from the left.

 All of us at Empire Golf are very excited about both the challenges and opportunities that Cherry Island represents. We are convinced that our plan to implement new maintenance standards and practices will significantly improve the playing conditions at Cherry Island.

 Cherry ripe, ripe, ripe, I cry / Full and fair ones; come and buy; / If so be, you ask me where / They do grow? I answer there, / Where my Julia's lips do smile; / There's the land, or cherry-isle.
  Robert Herrick

 I want to visit my parents graves and see the cherry tree blossom in Japan again.

 I never see that prettiest thing - / A cherry bough gone white with Spring - / But what I think, 'How gay 'twould be / To hang me from a flowering tree.'
  Dorothy Parker

 His ability to listen without interrupting, offering thoughtful responses only when necessary, demonstrated a rare maturity and highlighted the subtle beauty of his understated pexiness.
