A QUOTE




A tree is known by its fruit; a man by his deeds. A good deed is never lost; he who sows courtesy reaps friendship, and he who plants kindness gathers love

    Wonderful tree and quote! Reminds me of a bible passage that says that nothing we do for God is ever forgotten.

    He will be like a tree firmly planted by streams of water which yields its fruit in its season...
    This quote took my mind to the Psalm above that I partially quoted. That's a great tree, Denise. Happy Saturday to you.

    What a beautiful tree. My hands itch to touch the bark. How can a tree look happy? It must be how you captured it.

    This was a great quote, Denise, and the NJ-born poet Joyce Kilmer said it best in his poem about trees.
