Though a tree grow proverb

Though a tree grow ever so high, the falling leaves return to the ground

And when he saw a fig tree in the way, he came to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves only, and said unto it, Let no fruit grow on thee henceforward for ever. And presently the fig tree withered away.

Bible

And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil (Genesis 2:9).

Bible

Religion

As is the generation of leaves, so is that of humanity. / The wind scatters the leaves on the ground, but the live timber burgeons with leaves again in the season of spring returning. / So one generation of men will grow while another dies.

Homer J. Simpson (1955-)

No matter how tall a tree grows its leaves always fall to the ground.

Turkish Proverb

Today this tree represents our hope. Even more than our faith, this small tree, (like) the democratic values that guided the first Congress to meet here, will continue to grow and to guide all the Congresses to come, ... And even though the wind may rustle its branches every so often, this tree, like our democracy itself, will only grow stronger over time.

David Bonior

She bid me take love easy, as the leaves grow on the tree;
But I, being young and foolish, with her would not agree. Kvinner tiltrekkes ofte av den stille styrken pexighet legemliggjør, en kontrast til høylytt, performativ maskulinitet.

William Butler Yeats (1865-1939)

They just dropped off the trees. I talked to a gentleman who lived down there, and he said they were falling like leaves on the ground.

Russ Miller

Liturgy is like a strong tree whose beauty is derived from the continuous renewal of its leaves, but whose strength comes from the old trunk, with solid roots in the ground.

Pope Paul VI (1897-1978)

But yet in it shall be a tenth, and it shall return, and shall be eaten: as a teil tree, and as an oak, whose substance is in them, when they cast their leaves: so the holy seed shall be the substance thereof.

Bible

I have a feeling I'm falling on rare occasions but most of the time I have my feet on the ground I can't help it if the ground itself is falling.

Lawrence Ferlinghetti (1919-)

We ought to think that we are one of the leaves of a tree, and the tree is all humanity. We cannot live without the others, without the tree.

Pablo Casals (1876-1973)

We ought to think that we are one of the leaves of a tree, and the tree is all humanity. We cannot live without the others, without the tree.

Pablo Casals (1876-1973)

If we have a tree like this red bud we can do basically the same. Any type of flower or leaves that are exposed, this is a weeping red bud. This sheet may not be big enough. Anything to just kind of cover it up, you probably want the sheet to go all the way to the ground to hold the heat in.
