Great winds only challenge great trees.

A flower blooming in a storm is stronger than a tree blossoming under a rainbow.

Where the world only sees a seed, an optimist sees a tree.

The greater the fruit a tree bears, the greater the number of stones thrown at it.

A tree does not despair when a few of its leaves fall off because there is more room for greener ones to take their place.

It is in the roots, not the branches, that a tree’s greatest strength lies.

Be flexible like trees; when the wind blows bend, but do not break.

A tree does not stop growing because the wind blew off a few of its leaves.

The sweetest fruits grow at the top of a tree so that only those who deserve them can reach them.
